[R] Running R from windows command prompt

[Orvalho Augusto]

If you want to have R available under command prompt you need to add
the R executable to the PATH environmental variable doing this (On
Windows XP and it is similar on Vista or 7):
start> right click on My Computer > Choose properties > Advanced >
Envonment variables > Under system variables choose Path and click
EDIT > on variable value at the end of it add ;C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.13.0\bin

Click OK. And you are done.

The C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.0\bin is the place you have the R
executables which you can find from explorer.

After that your can call R from command prompt like
R CMD BATCH e.g

Good luck
