I heard there is a new R extension coming up, which is easier to add in than the previous one. Could someone throw a instruction or a link ?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hi,
you can install it via the marketplace inside RapidMiner Studio (admittedly it's a bit of a pain to find at the moment, we're working on fixing that) or you can install it right from here: https://marketplace.rapidminer.com/UpdateServer/faces/product_details.xhtml?productId=rmx_r_scripting
It's basically just install the extension and add the new "Execute R" operator in your process. It will then try to automatically determine where you have installed R and the required packages. If it does not succeed, it will let you know and allow you to specify the path to R manually. You might end up having to install one or two packages for R by hand, but that's about it in terms of preparation required

Hi Marco
I have loaded the R extention but do not see the R studio Icon when I open RM and so I cannot open the R console...I can however run the Execute R Operator so everything is working
Can you help me please ..I am using RM 6.4

Hi,
that is the intended behavior
Everything you want to do via R, you can do via the new "Execute R" operator. You can pass data to it and retrieve as results in a much more powerful way than the old R extension could.
Due to the completely changed way how Studio communicates with R, the R console is no longer accessible from within Studio. If you want to use it, you can configure R like you would without Studio by accessing R via your OS console directly.
