How do I run my R Markdown file from PowerShell? I want to automate my markdown file and send the report out as an email using PowerShell. I cannot use the send.mail function in R due to security purposes when trying to access the email servers, and the Rscript.exe command in Powershell will only work for the script file not the markdown file. Any suggestions?

  • `Rscript rmarkdown::render("sample.Rmd")` – A Gore Jul 14 '17 at 13:23
  • You may need to provide the path to `R.exe` or `Rscript.exe`, as per [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/12478852/5037901). Not a big PowerShell user myself, but this is the only way it works for me: `&"c:\path\to\R.exe" -e "rmarkdown::render("sample.Rmd")"`. Note the `&` and the use of `"` and `-e`. – juan Jul 14 '17 at 14:01
