Troubleshooting

Having issues? Start with the checks below.

Known Issues

  • Fresh installs on .msi builds restart Rscoop once after installation so the backend reconnects to Scoop.
  • Missing Scoop dependencies run the System Doctor checkup to install Git, 7-Zip, or other helpers automatically.

Scoop Path Problems

  1. Open Settings ? Scoop Configuration and confirm the path matches your environment.
  2. If the path is empty, Rscoop will default to C:\scoop. Update the value and restart the app if you use a custom location.

Bucket Search Fails

  • Clear the cached bucket index from the discovery panel and try again.
  • Verify your network access to GitHub if the expanded search download stalls.

Operation Failures

  • Check the operation modal for the last Scoop command issued.
  • View the log file from Settings ? About & Logs for additional output. Logs live under %APPDATA%\rscoop\logs.

Still Stuck?

Open an issue on GitHub with the log excerpts and the Scoop command that fails. Mention whether the app was installed through Scoop or the standalone installer.
