Overview
The R Module allows a user to execute R scripts. R is a programming language that is used for statistical computing and graphics.
The R Module will need to be installed. To learn how to install modules, click here. To run R scripts, install R to the system by going to https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/.
ProjectHub
A dependency must be made with the R module before any of the module's functionality can be accessed within a Project. All scripts are kept within a folder under the Manage section: [Project Name] > Manage > Integrations > Scripting.
Starting in v9.2 there is the ADD SCRIPT FOLDER action that will create new scripting folders within the primary R folder.
Example
This example will demonstrate how to execute an R script.
- Navigate to Settings > R Module Settings and enter the path where R is installed. Then, click SAVE.
- Navigate to [Project Name] > Manage > Integrations > Scripting. Right-click on R Script Projects and select Add Script Project.
- Name the Script Project (R Test Script) and click SAVE.
- Right-click on the R Script Project and select Add Script.
- Name the Script (R Example Script) and upload a valid R file. Then, click SAVE.
- Inside the same Project, Click CREATE FLOW on the Global Action Bar and select Flow. Name the Flow (R Module Flow) and click CREATE.
- Click on the Done path of the Start step. Navigate to Integrations > All Integrations > R > R Test Script. Select Example R Script step and click ADD.
- Connect the Success and Error paths to the End step. Then, click Save to save changes to the Flow.
Debug
- On the top action bar, click Debug. Then, click START DEBUGGING.
