Try heroku run bash and an R invocation there.

Hello, followed the instructions, pushed to Heroku and saw this (full
output below):

 R 2.15.1 successfully installed

All well and good, except:

$ heroku run R
Running R attached to terminal... up, run.1017
bash: R: command not found

I'm on the cedar stack-

$ heroku stack
=== mcgill-steam Available Stacks
bamboo-mri-1.9.2
bamboo-ree-1.8.7

• cedar

I'm using both ruby and R buildpacks:

$ heroku config
BUILDPACK_URL: https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git

And .buildpacks

https://github.com/virtualstaticvoid/heroku-buildpack-r.githttps://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-ruby.git

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm a ruby developer and this

is my first time ever hearing about R so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot!

Full output from heroku push (right before ruby buildpack installation).

Thanks @bwarren2 , unfortunately no dice

$ heroku run bash
Running `bash` attached to terminal... up, run.7304
~ $ R
bash: R: command not found

It's really just not coming up!

What do you get from find -type f -name R in bash on heroku?

Alright!

~ $ find -type f -name R
./vendor/R/bin/R
./vendor/R/lib64/R/bin/exec/R
./vendor/R/lib64/R/bin/R

Thanks so much:

Is there a way to add ./vendor/R/bin to the path?

from heroku-buildpack-r.

Config variables (herokue config:set) or something else I do not recall the
exact details of; I remember setting up some stuff when I was getting it
working, but I am away from my machine. Trying config, and if you need it
I will check my settings later today or tomorrow morning.

No worries, I'll take it from here. Thanks so much @bwarren2!

Setting the path as follows worked:

$ heroku config:set PATH=vendor/R/bin:vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

from heroku-buildpack-r.

Perfect.

There is an issue with heroku-buildpack-multi with environment variables. So you will see in my example install file, I explicitly set them again after the initial push.

from heroku-buildpack-r.

See ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi#5 for more details.

from heroku-buildpack-r.

@virtualstaticvoid surprising that issue is still around a year later eh. You certainly do fix the path in the example too, missed it :( sorry
