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?

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](https://hub.knime.com/) 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:

> Over the last months I have collected a few entries about the installation of [R](https://www.r-project.org) 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](https://medium.com/@GalarnykMichael/install-r-and-rstudio-on-windows-5f503f708027) or [here](https://www.dummies.com/programming/r/how-to-install-r/)). 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.
