invoking R from terminal

I have installed R in :

/usr/local/R.framework/Resources/bin

by building from source. R was downloaded in a folder and I used the following commands one after the other:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --enable-BLAS-shlib --enable-R-shlib --enable-memory-profiling --with-tcltk=no
make
make check
make install

When I type ./R here I can start R. How can I start R from anywhere in the terminal? Do I have to setup something in the bash_profile?

Previously, I could invoke R from anywhere in the terminal by typing R.

You need to export the path in your .bash_profile, i.e., add this line to the file:

export PATH=/usr/local/R.framework/Resources/bin:$PATH
