By the way, I really do appreciate all of the work you put into microsoft-r-open. I forgot to mention that when I opened this issue. Thanks!
@molecules As a workaround, or holdover, you can easily install MRO using Anaconda (if you also want a base Python installation) or miniconda (if you want to install what you need as you go). Neither of these require admin privileges. After getting either installed, you would want to install the r-essentials
package using the command
$conda install r-essentials
The biggest downside to this is you will get R version 3.4.3 which means checkpoint
will use 2017-09-01 as the snapshotDate
. I tried setting the checkpoint to a more recent date without success. I had to directly download some packages from CRAN by specifying the mirror.
> install.packages('skpr', repos='https://cran.case.edu')
Since I am a non-root user, I can't use the provided installation scripts, I have been trying to install Microsoft-R-Open from source.
Are there more instructions for building Microsoft-R-Open from source that are more detailed than the following
README.md
file? It seems to help, but I'm still not sure what to do with thevendor
directory and how I'm supposed to install the curl or the RODBC packages in the "additionalPackages" directory.I've tried to build it from source. Below are the details. I left out the "dead ends" and only include what seemed to work, except that I have also included the errors I am getting for "curl" and "RODBC":
