Following this question, I am trying to install the package (running R64 as admin on Windows):
devtools::install_github("markhwhiteii/processr")
or
devtools::install_github("cardiomoon/processR")
However, I get the error message:
Error: Failed to install 'processr' from GitHub:
(converted from warning) cannot remove prior installation of package 'digest'
no matter which update option I select. Running the command .libPaths() I found the packages installation folder C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library and manually deleted the digest package and reinstalled it with package.install("digest"). But I still get the same error! I would appreciate it if you could help me understand what is the problem and how I can resolve it.
The simplest solution is to say no when install_github asks if it should replace digest.
If it still fails for some reason (and I can't see why; neither package requires a specific version of digest and you've reinstalled it in any case), then the problem is that devtools itself uses digest, so it can't be removed as long as devtools is loaded. So you can't use install_github.
You have a couple of options:
Clone the repo, then from the command line, run R CMD INSTALL . in that directory. Note that you'll need to insert the path to your R executable.
Install from the GitHub archive of the master branch: install.packages("https://github.com/markhwhiteii/processr/archive/master.tar.gz")
The steps to install the markhwhiteii/processr package:
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install.packages("https://github.com/markhwhiteii/processr/archive/master.tar.gz")
for testing the instalation:
library(processr)
processr::model1
Sent a PR on the GitHub repo.
and if you want to run R in the Jupyter environment just follow the instructions to install and regsiter the kernel:
install.packages('IRkernel')
IRkernel::installspec()

I am trying to install package SBCK from R build using Rscript build.R -c -v -i in windows command prompt following the steps given here. However, I ended up with package SBCK being not installed because of following error/warning InstallationWarning: package 'SBCK' is in use and will not be installed. I have no package with name SBCK installed on my system, so I do not understand why I am getting this warning message and thus not to be able to install the R package.
I know that similar question have been asked before here but solution there does not work in my case.
I am using R version 4.2.0 on Windows 10.
Once 'build.R' is run, "SBCK_0.5.0.tar.gz" is created in the 'SBCK-R' folder.
You can now install it via the package archive file option or pointing to that file in the install.packages command. I faced the same issue and this solved it.
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 came across a package that is not available on CRAN. I tried to install the package using:
Packages & Data > Package Installer > Local Binary Package > At User
Level > [FileName.tgz] > Install...
This didn't work and I am now trying to use the R CMD INSTALL command. However, it seems I need to run that command in the command line interface but I cannot get it to install properly.
The package I'm trying to install is called gEcon. It can be found here. In particular, I am getting the following error message after "installing" the package:
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘gEcon’:
package ‘gEcon’ was installed by an R version with different internals; it needs to be reinstalled for use with this R version
I assume it's the way I'm installing it.
Thanks in advance.
You're going to need to install Xcode apparently, because you've got to install this from source per these directions:
Now, you've gotta update R to the latest stable release, or if you prefer you can find the exact minimum newest version needed for gEcon.
After upgrading R you can complete the installation from source.
Original answer to original question:
Two things:
To access the command line and use R CMD on an Apple computer, please use the terminal.app app. Please see this for more details.
An easier and probably better approach is to install your package from the author's Github (or BitBucket, etc) repository using devtools::install_github or just use devtools::install on the downloaded source project.
I need to install plotly package for R(3.3.1) in a Redhat server 5.11. It requires curl to be installed first. I downloaded the package from https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/curl/index.html.
When I try to install the package, it gives below error:
version.c: In function 'R_curl_version':
version.c:15: error: 'curl_version_info_data' has no member named 'libssh_version'
version.c:15: error: 'curl_version_info_data' has no member named 'libssh_version'
make: *** [version.o] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'curl'
Has anyone had the same issue before?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
You need to install the development version of the curl library before installing the package. Try yum install curl-devel.
One note though - whenever you run into a similar error it is typically because a development version of a library is not installed on your redhat system.
Thanks Jim for your reply.
I found the solution is to use a lower version curl package which has not included the definition for "libssh_version" in the file version.c, e.g. curl_0.9.6.tar.gz with the command:
sudo R CMD INSTALL curl_0.9.6.tar.gz
I've also tried "yum install curl-devel", but it shows the message:
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.
Setting up Install Process
Package curl-devel-7.15.5-17.el5_9.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package curl-devel-7.15.5-17.el5_9.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
I was trying to install RTextTools package for R, but failed. Here is the output from the screen
> > install.packages("RTextTools")
Warning in install.packages("RTextTools") :
argument 'lib' is missing: using 'C:\Users\datamining\Documents/R/win-library/2.10'
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
Warning: unable to access index for repository http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.10
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package ‘RTextTools’ is not available
What's the reason for this problem, and how to fix it? Thanks.
There are two distinct, but related, issues:
You are running version 2.10 of R which is two years old. CRAN supports only the current version with pre-built binaries. You could try installing from source.
RTextTools, as can be seen on its CRAN page also requires at least R version 2.13.
So in short: you should upgrade.
I have resolved the issue. I have Download RTextTools From Given Link.
https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/RTextTools/
and copy RTextTools_1.4.2.tar.gz file in project root folder then run this command in project folder in terminal
"R CMD INSTALL RTextTools_1.4.2.tar.gz"
After running this command I receive below error
"ERROR: dependencies ‘SparseM’, ‘randomForest’, ‘tree’, ‘e1071’, ‘ipred’, ‘caTools’, ‘maxent’, ‘glmnet’, ‘tau’ are not available for package ‘RTextTools’".
Now install each dependencies from RStudio or RConsole (Any Editor used by you) by simply running this code.
install.packages("caTools").
Install all 9 required packages One By One (In My Case it was 9 Packages Dependencies required by RTextTools) all packages will be installed except 'maxent'.
Now download maxent from the given link.
https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/maxent/.
and copy maxent_1.3.3.1.tar file in project folder then run this command in project folder in terminal.
"R CMD INSTALL maxent_1.3.3.1.tar"
Now For RTextTools Run this command again in Terminal.
"R CMD INSTALL RTextTools_1.4.2.tar.gz"
All is done Now..
But the Last Step is
Load the RTextTools using.
library(RTextTools)
You will see one more Error: Load SparseM Now Loading SparseM use code below.
library(SparseM)
and in the last Load RTextTools
library(RTextTools)
RTextTools is dependent on a number of packages, most of which require R 2.13+. You should always keep R updated to the latest version, since each update contains numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements.
If you can't install packages from repository or the packages are not available anymore, just follow this steps:
Install.packages("devtools")
check -- library("devtools")
install_github("cran/maxent")
install_github("cran/RTextTools")
