I want to use Tensorflow package for R in Windows.
Done with Python 3.5.x installation from python.org and have installed the Tensorflow R package from devtools::install_github("rstudio/tensorflow")as per the official source https://rstudio.github.io/tensorflow/
I know I am not setting the environment variable in the right way in the windows and/or in the sys.setenv function of R.
Above link says it should be set to Sys.setenv(TENSORFLOW_PYTHON="/usr/local/bin/python").
See below the location of my Python35 folder which includes all the python stuff including the tensorflow library downloaded from the python side:
Python35 folder location:C:\Users\rgupta6\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35
tensorflow folder location: C:\Users\rgupta6\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\Lib\site-packages\tensorflow
Code I used:
Sys.setenv(TENSORFLOW_PYTHON="C:\\Users\\rgupta6\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python35")
Sys.setenv(TENSORFLOW_PYTHON="C:\\Users\\rgupta6\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python35\\Lib\\site-packages\\tensorflow")
I use library(tensorflow) and get no error.
Then I use sess = tf$Session() and get an error:
Error in initialize_python(required_module) : Installation of Python not found, Python bindings not loaded*.
What should I do to make it work?
If you are getting errors such as:
Error in initialize_python(required_module) : Installation of Python not found, Python bindings not loaded
Error: Installation of TensorFlow not found
Python environments searched for 'tensorflow' package:
C:\Users\rgupta6\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\python.exe
Some error related to file does not exist
While trying to make Tensorflow package to work in Rstudio, the problem is with your environment variable in Windows.
What you need to do is:
From the desktop, right click the Computer icon.
Choose Properties from the context menu.
Click the Advanced system settings link.
Click Environment Variables. In the section System Variables, find the PATH environment variable and select it. Click Edit.
A new pop up will open. Variable name will remain Path. We will change the Variable value to the location of the folder where your tensorflow folder is located. Find it.
For e.g. I changed its value to:
C:\Users\rgupta6\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\Lib\site-packages\tensorflow
Close all remaining windows. Open Rstudio, and run your "Hello World" program to see if your tensorflow works fine in R:
library(tensorflow)
sess = tf$Session()
hello <- tf$constant('Hello, TensorFlow!')
sess$run(hello)

I've searched for tutorials to help configure the package in my PC, and I've found this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fDhRL_LBdQ
I executed every part of the code interactively with the tutorial, but when I run ee_install() (after installing miniconda with py_discover_config() and other packages previously, such as reticulate), but it keeps me returning an error saying that anaconda is mandatory for the package since I'm a windows user.
Here is the error I get:
Error in ee_install_set_pyenv_env(py_env = py_env, py_path = python_path, : Windows users must install miniconda/anaconda to use rgee. The use of a Python environment is mandatory.
I've just installed Anaconda (full version with navigator) and I set a new python environment called "py2r" and tried to use the function ee_install_set_pyenv(), passing the path to the environment created through Anaconda Navigator (which has a python.exe) as paremeter to py_path and the name "py2r" as paremeter for py_env arg. And yet, it didn't work.
What am I missing?
In case you want to take a look at the code, I can provide it, but I don't think it's necessary because is a simple test script that follows as I described.
Thanks for your attention and congratulations for the library, it will be very usefull for me at work!
I fixed the ee_install() problems bypassing them and doing every passage manually. It will require no more then 10 mins and you will probably fix the installation problems. You can find and follow the manual installation with this tutorial:

I cannot run a R session from the command line by typing 'R', despite having
C:/Program Files/R
and
C:/Program Files/R/R-3.3.2/bin
in both 'Path' (System) and 'PATH' (User) environment variables (the latter directory is where the actual application is located, I was just trying everything by adding the former).
If I manually change the working directory to C:/Program Files/R/R-3.3.2/bin and type R, a session runs.
Any insight as to why this might be the case? Other programs such as Python 3 run fine, provided the the environment variable is set, why not with R?
This question is part of a larger problem where I am trying to get rpy2 working, but though successfully installed, none of it's basic functions are working, and I thought this maybe to do with a version of R being installed at C:/Users/Anaconda2/R (Because this dir was in Path). The R application installed here would not work when opened, but was the directory returned when I typed R RHOME into cmd - despite the fact this installation is not even functioning, and has apparently only existed since I installed rpy2 a couple of hours ago. I reasoned that rpy2 is trying to use the instance of R installed here rather than my normal one, thus causing the error when I call robjects.r. But this still doesn't explain why I can't run R from cmd. When using R.home(component = "home") from inside a an R session (in RStudio or out of it), it returns my normal, working R directory, at C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-33~1.2. By moving the R file tree installed in Anaconda's directory to a somewhere not in Path, I hoped Windows would find the correct installation via Path - but instead I just get Failed to create process.
My last guess was that Windows didn't like the space in "Program Files", but loads of variables in Path go through the same folder. Any ideas?
I am using:
Windows 10,
R 3.3.2,
Python 2.17.13
UPDATE, PERHAPS SOLVED:
On Josh O'Brien's recommendation (thanks!), I typed where R into cmd, returning:
C:\Users\charl\Anaconda2\Scripts\R.exe
C:\Program Files\R\R-3.3.2\bin\R.exe
The first path is marginally different from the C:\Users\charl\Anaconda2\R listed in my first post (both are in Path), and leads to a third R.exe. It's outside the R file tree located in Anaconda, unlike my standard R installation, but seems to be dependent on it nonetheless. If I remove this R.exe to another location (not in Path), Typing R in cmd will run R from the desired directory, thus fixing the problem. R.home() from inside that session confirms this.
My only remaining concern then; is whether this installation of R in Anaconda necessary for rpy2 or can I just delete it, fixing the original problem? It may just be my ignorance, but I was not conscious that installing rpy2 (I used the standard Windows installer rather than compiling manually) would install another instance of R - is it necessary for the package or just a default/option I failed to omit?
I'm exploring package building on Windows 7 but have been running into trouble after reaching the Command Prompt stage. The following thread appears to be on the same topic that I'm having trouble with, but the question remains unresolved:
Cannot install R package in Windows 7
The problem: whenever I try an R CMD command in Command Prompt (e.g. I've tried R CMD install pkgName, R cmd install pkgName, Rcmd install pkgName, where pkgName is a place-holder for an actual package that has been R CMD checked on OS X and also posted on CRAN, where I have the unzipped source in the current working directory), I get the following error message:
'R' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
(If I try the Rcmd install pkgName command, then the error starts out as 'Rcmd' is not ....) Note that even if I type in just R in Command Prompt and hit enter, I get the same error, so I'm not even able to bring up R here, though it opens perfectly fine in its stand-alone interface.
I have examined the following guides without success in identifying the trouble:
Karl W Broman's website
Rob J Hyndman's website
Steven Mosher's blog
The most immediate thing that came to mind was that the path variables in Windows were not set right, but this also has not (yet) led to the answer. For example, I have triple-checked the paths to ensure they are correct, including for the R version number, that x64 in the path name is accurate, etc.
I realize this is a complex issue to remotely diagnose, but any advice and suggestions on resolving this trouble is appreciated. For reference, below are the steps I have taken already to try to resolve this issue:
Uninstall R and Rtools
Install the latest version of R (2.15.0)
Install Rtools215 to match R version 2.15.0
Originally I let Rtools specify the path variables (turning that option on during installation). No success after this method.
I updated the path variables on my computer, where the below paths were used:
C:\Rtools\bin; C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.0\bin\x64;
I've also tried the R CMD (and Rcmd) commands with the following paths included (note that these paths don't lead to anything on my computer, so I tried doing R CMD / Rcmd with and without them specified):
C:\Rtools\perl\bin; C:\Rtools\MinGW\bin;
Tried adding/removing the following path, which goes to the only other folder visible within the Rtools folder:
C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3;
Tried multiple variations of the R CMD commands, as noted earlier.
I tried this all a few months ago when I had R version 2.14.1 and Rtools214 installed, and I had the exact same trouble.
Note: I already had Cygwin installed prior to R and Rtools, and I have not installed MikTeX (yet).
Have you closed the command prompt and opened a new one after adjusting the PATH?
Enter the command PATH on the command line and ensure that you are properly updating your path
Try navigating to the directory where R.exe is saved and running it locally -- cd C:\Program...\bin\x64, R.exe.
Ensure that you're running on Windows' Command Prompt and not Cygwin's terminal
If you actually have a space after the semi-colon in your PATH, you'll need to remove that: /bin;C:/Program.... Try combining that with Joshua's solution.
I attach my whole solution here:
Install Rtools which is compatible with my R version
Add PATH: C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1\bin\x64;C:\Rtools\bin;C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin
In cmd, enter: R CMD INSTALL packagename
Click "enter", done.
I had a lot of trouble getting this to work, and finally found the golden nugget on r-project (R doesn't like spaces in paths) so here's how I finally did all this:
I installed R to "c:\programs" instead of "c:\program files...". My final path to RSCRIPT.exe is "C:\Programs\R\R-2.15.2\bin\Rscript.exe"
I added that directory to my PATH, but that doesn't seem to help
RStudio is also installed under c:\Programs (e.g. c:\Programs\RStudio), but RTools is installed under the "c:\" root directory (e.g. c:\RTools).
I downloaded all the packages to "c:\downloads\r"
I opened a command prompt in "c:\downloads\r" and ran the R CMD install from this downloads directory, specifying the path to R
e.g. "C:\Programs\R\R-2.15.2\bin\x64\R CMD INSTALL colorspace_1.2-0.zip"
It appears that the CMD processor is Case Sensitive. You have to use INSTALL vs. install
Simple solution, use quotes:
c:> "C:\Program Files\WinZip\wzunzip.exe"
if you run this, you don't need to worry about the space in Program Files.
Hope this help.
I encountered a similar problem while trying to use SparkR from Windows Power Shell. Each time I would do ".\sparkR.cmd" (I was inside the folder containing this file), it would throw an error message like,
cmd is not recognized as an internal and external
command...blah...blah...blah.
I solved the problem by adding "C:\Windows\System32" to my PATH.
I restarted my system and then repeated the process and this time, I saw a new error,
R is not recognized as an internal and external
command...blah...blah...blah.
I tried all sorts of approaches, including the ones mentioned above. NOTHING WORKED, I was probably wasn't efficient enough to make it work.
Then I came across this place at code.google. I simply copied the R.bat onto a notepad, named it as R.bat. Kept it inside the folder where sparkR.cmd was located. For me it was,
C:\Apache\spark-1.5.1-bin-hadoop2.6\bin\
The I placed it on my PATH as :
C:\Apache\spark-1.5.1-bin-hadoop2.6\bin\R.bat
Restarted my laptop, opened my Power Shell as an administrator and typed :
.\R.bat help
It worked fine. Then I typed,
.\sparkR.cmd
and there it was.
It worked.
I hope it helps to people new to R. Thank you G. Grothendieck.
In the .bat file add a line of code specifying the path of the folder where R is installed and then give the path of the script as follows -
#ECHO OFF
PATH C:\Program Files\R\R-3.5.1\bin
R CMD BATCH D:\project_abc\helloworld.R
Following this, run the .bat file and you will see the code in the script will run smoothly.
In my case the issue was solved by using Edit instead of New while selecting PATH in the window below:
enter image description here
After selecting Edit I added the directory below:
C:\Program Files\R\R-4.0.2\bin\x64
This solved the issue in my case.
I would like to run R code magic in ipython notebook but was told I　need to get rpy2 package installed. Not sure how to do that, please help!
It is a pain in the A-word. I get it work, but not for every PC. Please follow my process:
Set up the global environment variables.
(a). Right click "My Computer", choose "Property"
(b). Choose "Advanced System Settings"
(c). Choose "Environment Variables"
(d). Click "New..." and add the following variables:
Variable Name=R_HOME
Variable Value=~R\R-3.0.1 (This should be the folder of R. No need to go down to "bin" folder.)
Variable Name=R_USER
Variable Value=John Smith (This should be your user name to log in windows os)
Then, double click "PATH" variable to add the R folder location at the end of the sentence (separated by ";")
Install RPY2 through pre-compiled binary packages:
Provided by Christoph Gohlke
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
Install the binary package after downloading.
Copy core R files to the correct directory
rpy2 package will automatically dive into "bin" folder to call R.exe; however, the core R files are located one level below (64-bit: bin\x64 or 32-bit: bin\i386). For example, assuming you wish to use 64-bit R in iPython Notebook, to make RPY2 work properly, you need to make sure that you copy everything , except R.exe and Rscript.exe, to the bin folder.
Then you should be able to load rpy2, call rmagic and enjoy.
I'm trying to get R to recognize that I have installed Rtools.exe. I've tried installing it in several different locations. However, whenever I restart R and load devtools I get the same error:
> library(devtools)
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages, but is not currently installed.
Please download and install Rtools 3.0 from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows
/Rtools/ and then run find_rtools().
Naturally, whenever I try the function find_rtools() I get the same error message. I'm done trying to figure this out with help files, as the devtools help doesn't offer much. I've tried installing in several of the locations returned by get_path() but the problem persists.
FYI, currently my R is installed at D:/R.
Has anyone else had this problem, and more importantly, can anyone help me?
I'm sorry if this is a duplicate, and I've tried to include as many relevant details as possible so if you need any clarification please let me know.
Thanks,
Nick
Grab the batch file Rpathset.bat from batchfiles, edit the SET statements in it appropriately and then run R like this from the Windows console:
Rpathset
Rgui
I ran into this issue running a Windows 7 machine without admin rights. I leveraged G. Grothendieck's response, with a few additional steps.
Get Rpathset.bat from https://code.google.com/p/batchfiles/
Edit the Set statements in Rpathset.bat to your paths
Run CMD and change directories to where Rpathset.bat is stored
In the command prompt, run rpathset.bat > mypath.txt
Open mypath.txt with a text editor
Click Windows Start and search for environment
Click Edit environment variables for your account
Click path and then edit
Copy and paste the entire path from mypath.txt into the Windows path (everything after the path statement)
Restart RStudio and check that devtools::find_rtools() is TRUE
This file rtools.r contains the code for find_rtools(). It looks like it is trying to find ls and gcc in your system path (and then does some more checks based on the version) and if that fails it tries to look up SOFTWARE\R-core\Rtools in the the Windows registry.
As Thomas mentioned here, "Rtools is not a package." This is what I did to install Rtools. My RStudio is running R version 3.1.3. So I downloaded Rtools31.exe from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/. I executed the exe file, selected all the default options in the Setup Wizard and installed. (I had admin privilege on the computer I was using but I am not sure if that makes any difference.) To check that it was properly installed, you can enter find_rtools() in the R prompt which should return TRUE if Rtools installed properly.
For R 3.0, you probably just need to download Rtools30.exe and follow the same steps above.
I ran into this problem trying to install Rtools33 to use Hadley Wickham's lineprof package. I got that error multiple times. I'm running Windows 7 on a laptop.
I was able to fix the problem by running the Rtools installation file as the windows Admin (i.e. right-click the Rtools33.exe and choose "Run as administrator")
I also made sure to point the path to the R source directory, which I kept in C:\Rtools\ (which contains C:\Rtools\bin\ and C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\).
This solved the problem for me and I am now able to install lineprof from GitHub and make use of it.
