R scripting not loading on KNIME startup

[JCeltic]

Hello. I just installed KNIME 3.7.2 new on a Windows 10 Professional machine. I selected to install the KNIME R Statistics Integration (Windows Binaries) and when I check the list of installed extensions, it shows that it’s there. In Preferences…KNIME…R the Path to R Home is set to C:\Program Files\KNIME\plugins\org.knime.ext.r3.bin.win32.x86_3.4.2.v201804212007\R-Inst

All that said, the R icon does not appear during the start up splash screen and none of the R nodes show up in the Node Repository. I’m not even sure where to start to try to fix this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks very much

Hi there!

Welcome to KNIME community!

For R there is KNIME Interactive R Statistics Integration under KNIME & Extensions group and KNIME R Scripting extension under KNIME Community Contributions - Other group. Don’t know what Windows binaries extension is for

What can help you in extension/integration/node search and install is KNIME Hub where you can see which node belongs to what extension (and much more!). Check it out

Additionally there is great topic in this forum regarding R and KNIME which can help you as well:

Install R alongside KNIME on Windows and MacOS

Over the last months I have collected a few entries about the installation of R alongside KNIME that contain some maybe useful hints how to overcome certain obstacles while installing them. I want to bring them together here. (If you are looking for a basic guide about how to install R in the first place you might look here or here). A few maybe unnecessary remarks upfront. Yes it takes some effort to get KNIME and R up and running but in the end you will be rewarded with the whole world of pos…

I needed to install KNIME Interactive R Statistics Integration.

Thank you for the replies, apparently more coffee was the key.
