As the error message mentions, there is no binary CRAN package ‘mxnet’ is available for R version 4.0.2. You can compile from source following the instructions: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/v1.x/docs/static_site/src/pages/get_started/ubuntu_setup.md

cc @ys2843 @sandeep-krishnamurthy the instructions are missing on https://mxnet.apache.org/versions/1.6/get_started/build_from_source.html

niranjannilekani commented 4 years ago

Hi Leezu, where should i run below commands?? Please guide me...iam struggling hard to get mxnet installed sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y r-base-core r-cran-devtools libcairo2-dev libxml2-dev

leezu commented 4 years ago

As you're on Windows, you need to follow the Windows guide instead of the Linux guide. Please see https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/v1.x/docs/static_site/src/pages/get_started/windows_setup.md Sorry that I linked the wrong guide for your case before.

please help

sandeep-krishnamurthy commented 4 years ago

@hetong007 can you please help with this issue with a recommendation?

hetong007 commented 4 years ago

@niranjannilekani Since you have a new R version, Building MXNet-R from Source Code(CPU) is what you should go for. Please follow it strictly and ping me here if stucked.

Some additional points:

It involves compilation on your system, so RTools is required: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/
If you intend to use GPU, please make sure you can compile a CPU version first, then follow the next section Installing MXNet-R on a Computer with a GPU Processor

appropiate commented 3 years ago

Is there any info on whether there will be mxnet binaries on CRAN for R v4.0 in the near future?

JaimeGoB commented 3 years ago

@appropiate were you able to install mxnet? I am facing the same issues as you. I cannot install mxnet, no matter what I do. I am running R 4.0.1 on MAC.

vikram-rawat commented 3 years ago

I have the same problem. mxNet is not available for R 4.0.2. Please look into it.

waynelapierre commented 3 years ago

any update?

leezu commented 3 years ago

Please use https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/reticulate/vignettes/calling_python.html + the MXNet Python package

JaimeGoB commented 3 years ago

@leezu can you please give an example(code) on how to load mxNet with R 4.0.2, with the link you just gave use?

leezu commented 3 years ago

@JaimeGoB sorry, I'm not an R user so I'm not too familiar with this setup. But you can google for a tutorial about how to use Python packages from R. After you installed the MXNet Python package pip install mxnet, any such tutorial would apply. If you can comment here with the steps you took, that may help future users
