Batch processing multiple station files with R in windows

[Wendso]

Hello
I have 85 stations for which I want to use Climpact. The Rscript provided seems to be for Linux. Can you help me with tutorial on how to make it on Windows? I have prepared all the stations files and the metadata file is also okay. But I am stuck because on the section 5 of user guide it requires command line arguments to be passed on Linux. How do I do it if I have Windows? Please help me?

To run the batch script in Windows, once you have run the climpact2.batch.installer.r script:

1. In climpact2.batch.stations.r, replace the line
   "foreach(file.number=1:length(metadata$station)) %dopar%"
   with
   "for (file.number in 1:length(metadata$station))"
   because of issue with parallel processing package in Windows.

2. Open the command prompt by pressing the windows key, typing "cmd" and pressing Enter.

3. Setting the PATH variable to see the Rscript.exe file by typing "PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\R\R-3.5.1\bin" and pressing Enter. Use the directory path to your installation of R here.

4. In the directory where you have installed climpact2, type, for example, "Rscript.exe climpact2.batch.stations.r D:/Downloads/Meteo/Processing/ D:/Downloads/Meteo/launch.txt 1980 1999 1". Replace the parameters with values appropriate for your file and directory etc. Make sure to use forward slash "/" otherwise your output will be created in the highest level directory.

HelloI managed to make it work this way:- open the command execution window (bash.exe or else)- use the "cd" command to access the climpact2-master directory. You might need to go step by step untill you get to the directory.- when in the directory, open R by taping "R" in the command (i used R 3.4.4)- then install the packages by taping: source ("installers/climpact2.batch.installer.r"). This will install all the needed packages - make sure you have prepared your stations files and the batch file- exit R by typing q()- run the Rscript....I followed these steps and finally got results.

Yes, you should try running the commands shown in your screenshot but from within the climpact2 directory (i.e. use the "cd" command as Wendso said).
