I am trying to install the R package robCompositions but keep getting error messages. I have tried the following so far.
standard install
install.packages("robCompositions")
github install as suggested by the package maintainer (https://github.com/matthias-da/robCompositions)
library(devtools)
install_github("matthias-da/robCompositions", dependencies = TRUE)
download package and install from the package archive file (.zip, .tar, .gz)
unzip the downloaded package and run standard install
install.packages("C:/Users/SUHAS/Desktop/robCompositions_2.3.0", type="source", repos = NULL)
install r tools and then install package using standard install (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/)
install.rtools()
writeLines('PATH="${RTOOLS40_HOME}\\usr\\bin;${PATH}"', con = "~/.Renviron")
Sys.which("make")
## "C:\\rtools40\\usr\\bin\\make.exe"
install.packages("robCompositions", type = "source")
Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be much appreciated.
I am running R version R-4.0.4
First, apologies this is an answer and not a comment - I think it should be a comment but I don't yet have enough reputation points to comment.
I had a very similar problem. When researching it, I came across this page: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/robCompositions/index.html. It looks like robCompositions has been removed from CRAN, and the reason for that is a dependency, sROC, has been archived? I haven't yet come up with a workaround (I guess I'm hoping it will come back onto CRAN at some point soon!)

So I am going to do some survivalsvm process and I need the mlr3extralearners package from GitHub. When I tried to install it locally using the tar.gz file, it said
Execution halted
Warning in install.packages: installation of package had non-zero exit status
I also tried to use the zip file, and it said
install.packages("C:/Users/Ivan/Downloads/mlr3extralearners-0.5.49.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary", lib="C:/R-4.2.1/library")
then nothing happened.
I also tried using devtools::install_github("mlr-org/mlr3extralearners"), but the output was the same when I used the tar.gz file. When I checked in my library, I already have the mlr3extralearners package, but when I call it using library(mlr3extralearners), it does not work. Does anyone know how to solve this? Any help is appreciated.

I believe this should work for you:
Install the latest version of this package by entering the following in R:
install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("mlr-org/mlr3extralearners")
My first post in an early programming career - any help very welcome.
I am studying R, and using a book called R in Nutshell (O'Reilly). The book is supported by a package that was previously available on CRAN. The package on CRAN has been archived - it is still there though as nutshell_2.0.tar.gz.
I am running MacOS Catalina, R version 3.2.1.(after downgrading from 4.02 to try and solve this issue , without success), and RStudio version 1.3.1093.
When I try to install the package into R via RStudio I have this experience:
packageurl <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nutshell/nutshell_2.0.tar.gz
install.packages(packageurl,contriburl=NULL,type="source")
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nutshell/nutshell_2.0.tar.gz’ is not available (for R version 3.2.1)
I have a similar experience if I download the tar.gz file and try to import it directly under Tools/Install Packages.
I am able to install other packages on CRAN successfully.
Many thanks
Up front, I'm doing this on windows and not on macos, but the packages here have no compiled code so there should be few if any differences. Also, I tested on R-4.0.2; I don't think this will be a problem, because these packages appear to have been last-updated in 2012, so if they install on my 4.0.2, then they are likely to work on every version of R since then (including your 4+ year-old R-3.2).
download.file("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nutshell.audioscrobbler/nutshell.audioscrobbler_1.0.tar.gz", "nutshell.audioscrobbler_1.0.tar.gz")
download.file("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nutshell.bbdb/nutshell.bbdb_1.0.tar.gz", "nutshell.bbdb_1.0.tar.gz")
download.file("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nutshell/nutshell_2.0.tar.gz", "nutshell_2.0.tar.gz")

install.packages("nutshell.bbdb_1.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL)
install.packages("nutshell_2.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL)
I tried reproducing installation from archive. I got error that dependencies of this package are not available.
ERROR: dependencies 'nutshell.bbdb', 'nutshell.audioscrobbler' are not available for package 'nutshell'
* removing 'C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/nutshell'
Warning in install.packages :

Did you get the same error? If yes, then did you try to install them and try again?
As per the accepted answer, the solution was to install the missing dependent packages first, then the Nutshell package.
I was then able to update to R4.02
audioscrobbler_1.0.tar.gz
nutshell.bbdb_1.0.tar.gz
nutshell_2.0.tar.gz
I am trying to install mvpart and MVPARTwrap packages in R version 3.6.1.
I install on my PC the folder of these two packages in zip version and load them in the relative folder of the package.
When I run the script library(mvpart) I get this message:
ERROR: 'mvpart' package was built before R 3.0.0: please reinstall it."
I try to load this library in the old version of R (version 2.15) and the message is
in install.packages (mvpart): object 'mvpart' not found".
I do not understand why it is impossible to load this package. Thanks so much.
Maybe the answer is no more relevant, but I just had to install those libraries so maybe it will still help someone later. I suggest the install from github as it will install dependencies, you need however to be able to compile the source. So here we go :
first install rtools if it is not already installed go here and follow the instruction
update/install devtools if necessary as described here
using this command, it should work now. you may be asked to update some packages, accept all
devtools::install_github("cran/mvpart")
I'm trying to install the 'yaml' and 'stringi' packages in R-Studio, and it keeps giving me these errors:
> install.packages("stringi")
Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘stringi’
These will not be installed
or
> install.packages('yaml')
Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘yaml’
These will not be installed
How can I get these to install properly?
The error is due to R being unable to find a binary version of the package on CRAN, instead only finding a source version of the package and your Windows installation being unable to compile it. Usually this doesn't occur, but in this case was caused by the (temporary) outage of some of the mirrors at CRAN. If you type:
> getOption('repos')
CRAN CRANextra
"http://cran.rstudio.com" "http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin"
attr(,"RStudio")
[1] TRUE
You will see that R uses "http://cran.rstudio.com" by default to look for a package to download. If you see the cran mirrors web page you can see at the top that "http://cran.rstudio.com" actually redirects you to different servers world wide (I assume according to the geo location).
When I had the above issue, I solved it by manually changing the repo to one of the urls in the link provided. I suggest you use a different country (or even continent) in case you receive the above error.
I provide below some of the urls in case the link above changes:
Brazil http://nbcgib.uesc.br/mirrors/cran/
Italy http://cran.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/CRAN/
Japan http://cran.ism.ac.jp/
South Africa http://r.adu.org.za/
USA https://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/
You need to run the function install.packages as follows:
install.packages('<package_name>', repo='http://nbcgib.uesc.br/mirrors/cran/')
#or any other url from the list or link
One of them should then work to install a binary from an alternative mirror.
You need to install RTools to build packages like this (i.e., a source package rather than a binary). After you install Rtools, then try again to install.packages("ggplot2") and R will prompt you with:
Do you want to attempt to install these from source?
y/n:
(see the picture below)
You need to answer y and it will try to compile the package so it can be installed.
Struggled with this issue today, solved it for now by first downloading the windows binary and then installing e.g.
install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.3/stringi_1.1.1.zip", repos =NULL)
Just go to https://cran.r-project.org/ and then R Binaries/Windows/contrib and copy the url as argument to install.packages()
Install the package from a zip file - downloadable from the r-project website.
In basic R
go to Packages
Install packages from local files.
In RStudio
go to Packages
Install packages
Install from Package Archive File.
I had this issue when using an out-of-date version of R, so no binaries were available. The simple solution was to update my version of R.
Anything worked for me, until I found out my computer had an old version of R installed. Uninstalling everything and installing the newest R version worked!
I had to download the latest version of Rtools:
Go into the downloads folder and double click it to install it.
Close and reopen any R session.
Now packages should install like normal.
However, if you still have trouble, try installing the package from source (using type="source")
Like this:
install.packages("dplyr", type="source")
im trying to install mgarch package from Github. I downloaded the zip file: mgarch_0.00-1.tar.gz
I tried this procedure:
install.packages('package.zip', lib='destination_directory',repos = NULL)
as said here Manually Downloading and Installing Packages in R
But didnt work
Another procedure was: How to install development version of R packages github repository
As suggested at this link i had to install devtools from Hadley.
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
dev_mode(on=T)
install_github("ggplot2")
I did, and nothing happened.
As a begginer im really lost. Just want something to clear my way, because i need to run an BEKK GARCH Model.
try this
library(devtools)
install_github("vst/mgarch")
library(mgarch)
installs this package https://github.com/vst/mgarch
is that the one you want?
the syntax for install_github is (usually) install_github("username/repository") this is rather poorly documented in the ?install_github documentation
