AWK not found while installing "r2vcftools"

[rashidma]

Hello ,
I am trying to install r2vcftools in rstudio running on windows 11 machine.

remotes::install_github("nspope/r2vcftools")

_Downloading GitHub repo nspope/r2vcftools@HEAD
Running `R CMD build`...

Then I installed awk through installer and awk is available in power shell. I set the path variable to "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin".

Please let me know why i am not able to install r2vcftools?
