Installation error CNVkit: could not find the executable 'Rscript'

Hi

I am not able to solve this error, any help please?

File "/home/fi1d18/.conda/envs/py3venv/lib/python3.6/concurrent/futures/_base.py", line 384, in __get_result
    raise self._exception
RuntimeError: Could not find the executable 'Rscript' -- is it installed correctly?
(Original error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'Rscript': 'Rscript')
make: *** [build/p2-5_5.cns] Error 1
(py3venv) [fi1d18@cyan02 test]$

I only know that my R is in this path

/local/software/R/3.5.1/bin/R

Also I have already installed DNAcopy r package

Thank you for any help

The Rscript command is a binary that runs a given R script. It doesn't seem to be in your system path, but it's normally part of the default R installation, at least on Linux and R 3.0+. See if you can run Rscript independently on the command line, or locate it on your system.

Thanks a lot, I already installed that in 

"/temp/hgig/fi1d18/cnvkit/scripts/DNAcopy/"

And inside that I have

Looks like you installed R in your own space. Did Rscript not get installed when you did that?

Sorry I only know library(DNAcopy) is available I am not sure how I can check the installation or location of Rscript :(

Rscript is part of R install. Nothing to do with cnvkit.

Do you have R available on the system side (not one in your own directory)? Perhaps Rscript is available there.

Sorry

(py3venv) [fi1d18@cyan01 ~]$ /home/local/software/R/3.5.1/bin/Rscript"

So use this R then.

How? I don't know how to tell software that this is my R

When you do which Rscript or which R what do you see?

Remove /local/software/R/3.5.1/bin/ from your $PATH, if present.

Thanks a lot

Exactly by 

 PATH=$(echo $PATH | sed -e 's;:\/local/software/R/3.5.1/bin/;;' -e 's/local/software/R/3.5.1/bin/:\?;;')

Likely software installed

Thank you for helping me

Very appreciated

Sorry, I was trying to install R package but I am getting this error

Warning in dir.create(lockdir, recursive = TRUE) :
  cannot create dir '/home/fi1d18/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.5/00LOCK-NGScopy', reason 'Disk quota exceeded'
ERROR: failed to create lock directory '/home/fi1d18/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.5/00LOCK-NGScopy'

How I can change directory to where I have more space like scratch/fi1d18 ?

Please:

  1. Select a more descriptive title for your questions, e.g. Installation error CNVkit: could not find the executable 'Rscript'.
  2. Use tags appropriately. As such experts and developers can easily find your question. Tagging CNVkit would definitely make sense here, software error is useless.
  3. Take some time to read error messages carefully. In this case it is quite explicitly telling you what is wrong.
