I am trying to install LightGBM on my windows laptop. I have it installed on an AWS Ubuntu/Lunix instance but I keep getting errors on my windows laptop...
In the terminal using my RStudio windows version I run:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM
cd LightGBM
Rscript build_r.R
Which gives the following output:

I have tried many times to install make . I have updated Rtools also.

I managed to pass the `make not found` argument, when I run the code now I get.

I downloaded cmake but I still get the same error.
Based on your comments from chat, it seems you've installed Rtools into a non-standard folder (something other than C:/Rtools), which may have resulted in C:/Rtools/bin not being part of your PATH.
Try the following
Sys.setenv(PATH = paste("C:/Rtools/bin", Sys.getenv("PATH"), sep=";"))
Make sure you change "C:/Rtools/bin" to reflect the folder in which you installed Rtools.
If the folder is C:\rtools40, change it do
Sys.setenv(PATH = paste("C:/rtools40/bin", Sys.getenv("PATH"), sep=";"))
Then try re-installing lightgbm as per the official instructions.
