There are two basic possibilities to use R with KNIME - you have a R version on your computer and you point KNIME to it (“KNIME Interactive R Statistics Integration”) - KNIME provides you with an ‘integrated’ R package that sits somewhere deep in the KNIME folders (“KNIME R Statistics Integration (Windows Binaries)”) I would advise to use the first option. So first to proper install R (and maybe RStudio to have an easier handling) and then point KNIME to it. There are further R integrations but they may be confusing but they can coexist. You would have to make sure KNIME recognises the R version when you press apply in the settings. Not red text or warnings. The screenshot is from a Mac but Windows should behave in the same way. The path in your first screenshot is not the path that is shown in the second one. And I think KNIME wants full blown windows paths - with c:\program files… ![48](https://forum-cdn.knime.com/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3b8ddf02fd642d6c23483c7dcd9ea7f2472d8d55.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.knime.com/t/importing-r-code-in-knime/11260)._
