Install these packages by opening R and executing the following three lines of code:

You also need to install the following R packages: tidyverse, haven, and estimatr.

This tutorial assumes you have installed the rscript Stata package and have successfully installed R version 3.6 or later, which is freely available online. * Let -rscript- find the Rscript executable on its ownįor more details on rscript syntax and options, see the Stata help file included with the package. Global RSCRIPT_PATH 'C:/Program Files/R/R-X.Y.Z/bin/Rscript.exe' * Use global macro RSCRIPT_PATH to specify the path to the Rscript executable Rscript using filename.R, rpath('C:/Program Files/R/R-X.Y.Z/bin/Rscript.exe') Here are the three different ways to call an R script: * Use the -rpath()- option to specify the path to the Rscript executable If you don’t specify a path, rscript will try to find the Rscript executable on its own by searching commonly used paths. On Windows, the path for R version X.Y.Z is typically C:/Program Files/R/R-X.Y.Z/bin/Rscript.exe. On Mac/Linux, the Rscript path is typically /usr/local/bin/Rscript or /usr/bin/Rscript. You can specify the location of this executable using the option rpath(pathname) or by defining the global macro RSCRIPT_PATH. Rscript works by calling the Rscript executable that comes with your R installation. rscript does not work in batch mode on Windows. In batch mode, rscript is compatible only with Mac and Linux. Rscript is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux when Stata is invoked in interactive mode (the usual case). * Install the most recent version of -rscript. Installation * Determine which version of -rscript- you have installed It allows the user to supply arguments to the R script, enforce base R version control, and check for required packages. Rscript is a cross-platform Stata command that calls an external R script and displays the resulting R output and error messages in the Stata console.
