import rpy2.rinterface throwing errors in Python3.5

I've just reinstalled rpy2 with Python3.5 and I am having difficulty figuring out why the module cannot find the "R-Home". I have installed R on my computer already. Should I try reinstalling R or another method? Some help would be much appreciated here!

import rpy2.rinterface
Traceback (most recent call last):

This means that there is no executable in the PATH when python is calling "R RHOME" in a subprocess.

To overcome this add the path to R to your PATH. For example: export PATH=/usr/local/some/place/bin:${PATH}
