Hi,
I am a new user of RBi package.
I installed LibBi via cygwin and I ran one of the demos in Rstudio.
However, it could not find the "libbi" file although I passed the directory.
Do I need to run R in cygwin and then using RBi package or I can run it from Rstudio?

Thanks
Aden

Hi Aden,

I don't run Windows and R isn't my principal language but if it were me I'd try just running R at the command line and see if it finds libbi. If that works then you know it's something to do with your RStudio set up; if not then you can post the error message here.

 Thank you for your response.
I ran the code in cmd and I got the same error as Rstudio. The error is:

Error in rethrow_call(c_processx_exec, command, c(command, args), stdin,  :
  Command '/libbi' not found @win/processx.c:983 (processx_exec)
Type .Last.error.trace to see where the error occured

The code  is:

library('rbi')
(path_to_libbi="C:/LibBi/LibBi-master/script/libbi")
demo(PZ_PMMH)

Sorry, the code is

library('rbi')
options(path_to_libbi="C:/LibBi/LibBi-master/script/libbi")
demo(PZ_PMMH)

Did you manage to solve your problem? If not and if it were me I would try running LibBi from the command line to check that it is actually installed where you think it is. I haven’t used LibBi in a long time and I don’t recall having to set the path explicitly in R. If I get time I can try today but N.B. I am on macOS not Windows. Another option would to be to use WSL.

Thanks
