The R
interpreter is defined in the Settings | R Settings
:
But I am unable to run a simple R
command/script via
install.packages("benford.analysis")
Why is the interpreter not found?
CodePudding user response:
I had installed the R
plugin and did not restart the IDE. In the past Intellij-Idea had always required a restart. I had thought - given I was not required to restart before using the plugin - that maybe in the lastest 2021.2.X they had relaxed that requirement.
Well what happened is the plugin partially worked : syntax highlighting popped up and the R commands / menu items appeared. But apparently this "install plugins without restart" is not reliable - at least for the R
plugin. After restarting IJ the problem desribed inthe question disappeared and R scripts appear to be working within Intellij now.
