Unable to start the R language server.

After install the ide-r and atom-language-r packages, i restart Atom and receive this message:

"Unable to start the R language server.
This can occur if Atom cannot find R or the server is not installed.

Make sure you have both R and languageserver installed.

I set the absolute path to R as: c:\Program Files\r\R-3.4.2\bin\

Hi, had the same issue. It seems you need to put R.exe at the end of the path. What works:
c:/path-to-R-bin-folder/R.exe
