How do you run an R script from Windows command line with only RStudio installed?
I have a machine that only has RStudio installed. It does NOT have Rscript.exe which is how I normally run R code from the Windows command line.
How do I run R code from the command line on a Windows machine that only has RStudio installed? They can NOT install the normal R runtime so I need something that comes with RStudio.
Thanks!

You, can't. Rscript.exe is R, Rstudio is just an IDE for R.

If you don't have admin privilege, download the portable version of R from the official page and extract to your own folder and run R from there

But RStudio needs the normal R runtime in order to actually process your R commands. How do you have RStudio installed and working without R?

Rscript is a scripting front-end, which calls for and uses R. You cannot make successful calls to R without having R. If you just have Rstudio you will not be able to run R since it is assumed that you install R.
Use the portable version of R if you do not have admin privileges.
