Problem in installing sparklyr on R server in HDinsight - Azure

[etignone]

Goodmorning,

I am currently using R server on HDinsight in Azure.

I ask you for some help since I can not install sparklyr. When executing devtools::install_github("rstudio/sparklyr") I get the following error message:

ERROR: dependencies ‘tibble’, ‘rprojroot’ are not available for package ‘sparklyr’

• removing ‘/home/etignone/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.2/sparklyr’

Unfortunately I can not install neither ‘tibble’ nor ‘rprojroot’. Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you very much,

Edoardo Tignone

After many, many hours of iterating over the correct versions to use, I wrote this code to tackle the problem.

# Current CRAN version does not support Spark2.1 (as of 2017-12-25)
# Workaround:
### Initial Installation ###

install.packages("tidyverse")
install.packages("devtools")

#For install_github('...') SSL cert problem
httr::set_config(httr::config(ssl_verifypeer = 0L))

Thank you. We also did install the other dependencies prior to sparklyr, like you did.
