MXNet binary 404 Error

[mendl7]

Tried to do a windows RStudio install following the instructions "install.packages("drat", repos="https://cran.rstudio.com") drat:::addRepo("dmlc") install.packages("mxnet")"

I got the below error.

Error Message:

From the information you provided,

Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)

I am afraid you are on Linux not Windows.

The drat installation is for Windows and OSX.

Hello,

I have just updated to R 3.4.0 in my Mac (macSierra) machine and when trying to install mxnet I get this error (attached is my version):

> install.packages("mxnet", repos="http://dmlc.ml/drat/", type="mac.binary")

   package ‘mxnet’ is available as a source package but not as a binary

Warning in install.packages :
  package ‘mxnet’ is not available (as a binary package for R version 3.4.0)

And the version of my system is this:
