R CMD roxygen not recognized
r, roxygen
Solution
If I recall, you have to install packages from source in order for them to be able to provide additional commands for `R CMD`. This is because installing new `R CMD` commands is a bit of a hack---it requires hijacking the configure script or Makefile and having them copy files to the R bin folder. Installing a package from binary simply unpacks an archive, `configure` and `make` are never run.
So try `install.packages('roxygen', type='source')`. On Windows you will need to install the RTools before this will work.
Problem
I just tried out Roxygen package. Within R, I can run through the example in the Roxygen Vignette. But In command line, `R CMD roxygen` is not recognized as a valid command. When I run `R CMD --help`, I can see all `INSTALL, check, ...sweave..., config...` command items but not roxygen. can anyone help me out of this? is there addtional installation steps required other than `install.packages("roxygen")`? I use windows 32 with R 2.12.0 and working Rtools environments. Thanks.
