<h3>Install <code>make</code> on Microsoft Windows</h3>
<p>We are still working out the best way to install <code>make</code> on Windows. Our current best recommendation is to install <em>msysGit</em>, which includes <code>make</code> as well as <code>git</code> and <code>bash</code>.</p>
<p>Download and <a href="https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/releases/download/Git-1.9.4-preview20140929/msysGit-netinstall-1.9.4-preview20140929.exe">install msysGit</a>. The two software packages <a href="https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit">msysGit</a> and <a href="http://msysgit.github.io/">Git for Windows</a> are related. Both install <code>git</code> and <code>bash</code>, but only <em>msysGit</em> installs <code>make</code>. The programs installed by <em>msysGit</em> are found by default in <code>C:\msysGit\bin</code>. Here is the <a href="https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/tree/master/bin">complete list</a> of programs included with <em>msysGit</em>. For this activity, RStudio needs to be able to find in your <code>PATH</code> environment variable the program <code>make</code>, the <a href="git09_shell.html">shell</a> <code>bash</code>, other utilities like <code>rm</code> and <code>cp</code>, and <code>Rscript</code>.</p>
<p>Here is another alternative for installing <code>make</code> alone:</p>
<ul>
<li>Go to the <a href="http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm">Make for Windows</a> web site</li>
<li>Download the <a href="http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/make.php">Setup program</a></li>
<li>Install the file you just downloaded and copy to your clipboard the directory in which it is being installed
<ul>
<li>FYI: The default directory is <code>C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\</code></li>
</ul></li>
<li>You now have <code>make</code> installed, but you need to tell Windows where to find the program. This is called <a href="https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=windows%20update%20path%20variable">updating your <code>PATH</code></a>. You will want to update the <code>PATH</code> to include the <code>bin</code> directory of the newly installed program.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="update-your-path" class="section level3">
<h3>Update your <code>PATH</code></h3>
<p>If you installed <code>Make for Windows</code> (as opposed to the <code>make</code> that comes with <code>Git for Windows</code>), you still need to update your <code>PATH</code>.</p>
<p>These are the steps on Windows 7 (we don’t have such a write-up yet for Windows 8 – feel free to send one!):</p>
<ul>
<li>Click on the Windows logo</li>
<li>Right click on <em>Computer</em></li>
<li>Select <em>Properties</em></li>
<li>Select <em>Advanced System Settings</em></li>
<li>Select <em>Environment variables</em></li>
<li>Select the line that has the <code>PATH</code> variable. You may have to scroll down to find it</li>
<li>Select <em>Edit</em></li>
<li>Go to the end of the line and add a semicolon <code>;</code>, followed by the path where the program was installed, followed by <code>\bin</code>.
<ul>
<li>Typical example of what one might add: <code>;C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin</code></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Click Okay and close all the windows that you opened</li>
<li>Quit RStudio and open it again.</li>
<li>You should now be able to use <code>make</code> from RStudio and the command line</li>
</ul>

<div id="issues-we-are-still-clarifying" class="section level3">
<h3>Issues we are still clarifying</h3>
<p>See <a href="https://github.com/STAT545-UBC/Discussion/issues/58">issue 58</a> for what seems to be the most comprehensive statement of the Windows situation.</p>
<p>What are the tricky bits?</p>
<ul>
<li>Getting the same <code>Makefile</code> to “work” via RStudio’s Build buttons/menus and in the <a href="git09_shell.html">shell</a>. And, for that matter, which <a href="git09_shell.html">shell</a>? Git Bash or ???</li>
<li>Ensuring <code>make</code>, <code>Rscript</code>, <code>pandoc</code>, <code>rm</code>, etc. can be found = updating <code>PATH</code>.</li>
<li>Getting <code>make</code> to use the correct <a href="git09_shell.html">shell</a>.
<ul>
<li>See <a href="https://github.com/STAT545-UBC/Discussion/issues/54">issue 54</a> on the Discussion repo.</li>
</ul></li>
