Executable file from R code

Question

I'm a master student, and I've a little problem with a script written in R.

How can I produce an executable file from it?

Should I use Linux (e.g.Ubuntu) or windows? I wrote a code in Windows, but I can use Ubuntu.

R is an interpreted language. You'll always need the interpreter to run the scripts. You can call R from C code, but I don't think that's what you are asking. — Roland, Nov 25 '14 at 08:17
You cannot create an executable from an R script. The question is a duplicate anyway so I'll close it now. — Dirk Eddelbuettel, Nov 27 '14 at 21:27

Using linux, you can run your Rscript from the command line (in the terminal like this)

 Rscript <name of your Rscript file>

thanks. i'll try. but, than, how can I use it in R? The question is best reformuled in this terms: what's the usage of .exe file for a Rscript? – user3459094 Nov 25 '14 at 09:03
Your follow-up question makes no sense whatsoever. – Dirk Eddelbuettel Nov 27 '14 at 20:46
