Hi Dear @wch I cloned the repository of the rgcookbook and I tried to compile the book and I get the following error below. Please can you advice me on how to resolve this? Thank you and best regards.

Error in render_book_script(output_format, envir, quiet) : Error 127 attempting to render book Calls: -> -> in_dir -> render_book_script In addition: Warning message: In system2("make") : '"make"' not found Execution halted

Exited with status 1.

Hi, you'll need to install make on your computer. This is a build tool that's used for many different software projects. How you install it vary depending on what platform you're using. I can't provide instructions, but I'm sure that there are many guides out there about how to do it.

@wch thank you for your reply, I am using windows operating system, I am going to check online instructions on how to install make for my system.
