How to create an independent executable file in R language?

In R language, you can use the Rscript command to convert an R script into an executable file. Here are the steps to generate a standalone executable file:

1. Create an R script file by first creating a script file with a .R extension, like script.R, and then writing your R code in that script.
2. Add Shebang: Add a shebang line at the beginning of the R script, specifying the path to the executable file for Rscript. On most systems, Rscript is located at /usr/bin/Rscript. For example: #!/usr/bin/Rscript.
3. Set executable permissions: In the terminal, use the chmod command to assign executable permissions to the script file. For example: chmod +x script.R.
4. Run script: Execute the script by entering the file path in the terminal. Example: ./script.R.

In this way, you can convert an R script into an executable file and run it through the terminal. Make sure to have R and Rscript installed on your system and that the PATH environment variable is properly configured in order to run the script anywhere.
