Details

When R is run from the command line, the PATH environment variable is inherited from the current shell session. But when R is run within the RStudio Server, user's PATH is not used. To modify the environment in which R is run within your project, place .Renviron file to the root of your project, e.g.:

echo 'PATH=${PATH}:"/path/to/dir/with/yq"' >> .Renviron

Environment variables defined in .Renviron will be available in the R session run within the RStudio project.

Alternatively in R after scdrake package is loaded, you can set a path to the yq tool's binary with options(scdrake_yq_binary = "/path/to/yq/binary").
