I am using Windows, and am unable to install any package in R. I tried it with R 3.53 and 3.62. Both give an error.
I get the following type of error in the end:
Error in install.packages : cannot open file 'C:/Users/Arti Agarwal/Documents/R/win-library/3.5/file3a2065f64427/BH/include/boost/geometry/util/readme.txt': Permission denied
I also get this type of an error in between:
There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
binary source needs_compilation
yaml 2.2.0 2.2.1 TRUE
I don't know how to troubleshoot this further. Any suggestions?
I think I fixed it. Posting the answer for the benefit for anyone else having the same problem.
1) I fixed the file permission error by running R as admin.
2) The packages don't work with R 3.6.2 or R 3.5.3 but strangely enough they work with R 3.6.1
It gives a warning that the package was built with R 3.6.2 but it doesnt work with it when you install it. Hence the confusion.
thanks for all of your help.
Install conda for windows
# if you have 64 bit computer:
https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe
# if 32 bit computer:
https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86.exe
Run the exe.
Create a new environment for your R:
# create new virtual environment for R with name 'newR'
conda create --name newR
# enter this created environment
conda activate newR # or: source activate newR
# install there now newest R
conda install -c conda-forge r-base
# you can also install rstudio
conda install -c conda-forge rstudio
# and also more difficult to install R packages
# search for them by googling: 'conda install <packagename>'
# mostly in anaconda site you see command for install.
# next time you want to start R do:
# enter environment
conda activate newR # if that doesn't work: source activate newR
# start R

I did put R on path using the .bashrc file. And yet, I do not have access to R through the command line. I have nevertheless no issues with RStudio. When I check for the R location with which R, I get /home/myself/anaconda3/bin/R. I have Ubuntu 20.04. The error message that I get is /home/myself/anaconda3/lib/R/bin/exec/R: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. I have version R version 4.1.3 which I have installed recently. Working in JupyterLab in anaconda, I installed again R in a conda environement. Unfortunately, I get inside the conda environment the same error message.
When I try to install the missing package, I get the message:libreadline6 : PreDepends: multiarch-support but it is not installable.
I also tried to install libreadline with conda, conda install -c conda-forge m2-libreadline (as suggested on the anaconda site) as well as conda install -n base -c conda-forge libreadline.so.6. The message I get is: `PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:
libreadline.so.6
m2-libreadline`
I will highly appreciate your help. Thanks.
I used to work in R 3.4.0 version. Hovewer, this version doesn't support such packages as keras and tensorflow.
I was adviced to upgrade my R version to the newest one.
I downloaded the most recent R version 4.0.2 from the official site, then ran the following code:
install.packages("keras")
library(keras)
install_keras()
And got the following error:
Error in install_keras() :
You should call install_keras() only in a fresh R session that has not yet initialized Keras and TensorFlow (this is to avoid DLL in use errors during installation)
After this, when I tried to quit R session by q() , I faced the following error:
Error: option error has NULL value
Error: no more error handlers available (recursive errors?); invoking 'abort' restart
Error: option error has NULL value
I've never faced such an error before. When I used old R version, I typed q() and then had to choose between y and n. No errors appeared.
I'm asking you to help to to solve this problem.
You need to create a new environment and then you can install R 4.+ in Anaconda. Follow these steps.
conda create --name r4-base
After activating r4-base run these commands
conda activate r4-base
conda install -c conda-forge r-base
conda install -c conda-forge/label/gcc7 r-base
Finally, you will notice r-basa version 4 will be installed.
Thereafter, you can install any supported packages. But with this only, you won't have the ability to use it in the Jupyter notebook. You need to install install.packages('IRkernel') and Jupyter notebook as well if you want to use it. Otherwise you are good to go with R-Studio.
For Jupyter Installation and RKernel.
conda install jupyter
Then open the R console. Write in R console
install.packages('IRkernel')
IRkernel::installspec()
Congrats! You can use Notebook for Python and R.
Find the location of R.exe on your computer. In my computer, this executable is at
C:\Program Files\R\R-3.4.3\bin
Open another Anaconda Prompt as Administrator and change directories to wherever R.exe is on your computer with cd file path. On my computer, it’s cd C:\Program Files\R\R-3.4.3\bin, but it might be different for you.
Then run R from within Anaconda Prompt in Admin mode with R.exe
You’ll notice that you’re in an R session. From here, run the following three commands into the terminal.
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("IRkernel/IRkernel")
IRkernel::installspec()
In order, they (1) install the devtools package which gets you the install_github() function, (2) install the IR Kernel from GitHub, and (3) tell Jupyter where to find the IR Kernel.
Open Jupyter notebook and enjoy your new R kernel!

#Rheatey Bash works perfectly. but i was facing python.exe this program cant start because api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll python system error. this is a problem running on windows 7 but i resolved this issue by installing the kernel following https://richpauloo.github.io/2018-05-16-Installing-the-R-kernel-in-Jupyter-Lab/ and it works fine
I'm facing difficulties downloading the r package rsvg. I created first an environment with conda for the latest R version 4.0.2 following these instructions. I was able to download many other R packages & bioconductor packages without problem, however, this one produces huge pile of lines while configuring it and ends with errors downloadind its dependencies (systemfonts, stringi, stringr, gdtools, magick, svglite, knitr). My exact command is install.packages("rsvg", dependencies =T). Trying to download each of those packages produced also a tree of required dependencies (with configuration fail at the end of each).
Among the lines I noticed this error /user/include/freetype2/freetype/config/ftheader.h:3:12: fatal error x86_64-linux-gnu/freetype2/config/fthreader.h no such file or directory which make me suspect that my R installation is incopmlete or corrupted. I tested it with other R versions (e.g. R 3.6.0) yet the same error appear. Installing it on windows (Rstudio 3.6.2) also didn't work, and now I'm wondering if this package needs to be installed differently or it is system related problem? Any help would be highly appreciated

I'm getting a little bit crazy with this issue. I'm trying to install an R package using conda in my environment (python 2.7) in my home on a cluster (i.e. without root permissions). I firstly installed R in my env using:
conda install -c r r=3.4
Then:
conda install -c conda-forge python-igraph
(because igraph is required by my library of interest)
and finally:
conda install -c conda-forge r-diffusionmap
Unfortunately when I launch R the following message appears:
Error: package or namespace load failed for 'RevoUtilsMath': .onLoad
failed in loadNamespace() for 'RevoUtilsMath', details: call: NULL
error: Remove Microsoft R and then re-install. Be sure to select MKL
libraries as an install option.
During startup - Warning message:
package 'RevoUtils' was built under R version 3.4.3
What does it mean? How can I solve this?
Thank you in advance
I had this same issue after I installed some libraries (Rcpp included) in my root R, but not my conda environment (which screwed up conda). This would cause kernel death anytime a jupyter notebook running R was even opened.
The fix for me was:
Uninstall Anaconda3
Reinstall Anaconda3
Reinstall all the libraries I needed (mostly just Bioconductor in R)
A few other issues popped up, like package inconsistencies, but I dealt with those as described here.
All R packages on conda-forge (or Bioconda) are compiled against one single version or R for each new release branch (usually starting from patch 1, so 3.x.1, except for 3.4.3). This is due to ABI incompatibility problems.
Also note that defaults and conda-forge channels are (where) not binary compatible (although now they should be). And that since 2018 the default anaconda channel is distributing Microsoft R Open as default R, whether all packages from conda-forge should be preferably used with R from conda-forge.
You should be able to solve this issue by installing R using conda install -c conda-forge r-base.
the same error information for me when I open R for run code in ubuntu platform(18.4), and there is no other useful methods to solve it.My R version is 3.4.3.enter image description here
I am trying to run R code in Jupyter and the R Kernel was added. Most of the time, packages can be installed successfully. However, some of the packages, such as RCurl and ggmap, would got error while installing.
Example:
install.packages("RCurl")
Warning message in install.packages("RCurl"):
“installation of package ‘RCurl’ had non-zero exit status”Updating HTML index of packages in '.Library'
Making 'packages.html' ... done
What should I do?
Try to specify CRAN as repository in your install.packages statement when installing RCurl and ggmap. For example:
install.packages("RCurl", repos='http://cran.us.r-project.org')
This Stack Overflow post on installing R packages through Anaconda/Jupyter beyond those included in R essential provides more detail.
(Side note: I had encountered the same issue when trying to install R packages on computer clusters. This solution worked for me.)
use conda comment:
conda install r-RCurl
I kept getting the non-zero exit status when trying to install packages with Jupyter notebook with R kernel and was failing because of multiple dependencies when wanting to install a package. I am not an expert in any of these so please forgive me if I make an error in explaining or if it is a non-issue for you but please feel free to comment to clear things out. I just want to share my success story so hopefully it can help someone else: I am working on a MacBook Pro. Here are the information I get when I run R.version() on my jupyter notebook with R kernel:
$platform 'x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu'
$arch 'x86_64'
$os 'linux-gnu'
$system 'x86_64, linux-gnu'
$language 'R'
$version.string 'R version 3.6.1 (2019-07-05)'
These are the steps to take to fix the issue:
Go to https://anaconda.org/
Search the package name that you are trying to install
Copy the one line that is given to install the package, it should be something like:
Conda install -c r r-caret #conda install -c r r-package_name
NOTE: sometimes during installing packages, you’re asked whether or not you want to continue, so add --y at the end of the above statement to continue, so something like this
Conda install -c r r-caret --y
(I will always add it just to be on the safe side)
Click on the new launcher (+ icon) to create a new notebook with PySpark (once opened it has .ipynp extension)
On the first cell paste the copied line from step 2 and run
Once done, restart the kernel on the current notebook
Restart the kernel on your other notebook with R kernel
Run library(package_name) on your notebook with R kernel (e.x. library(caret))
install.packages("Hmisc", .libPaths(), repos='http://cran.us.r-project.org')
This command will install the packagae in the conda
"/home/user/anaconda3/lib/R/library" and use the cran r repository as source.
Add path in Anaconda
As per this answer,
one can also add additional paths in anaconda to load libraries from (for eg., the location where R studio saves the user-installed packages) with
.libPaths( c( .libPaths(), "~/userLibrary") )
For example, the following worked for me:
In Anaconda :
.libPaths( c( .libPaths(), "C:\Users\name\Documents\R\win-library\3.5") )
When I tried to add anaconda's library path to RStudio, it resulted in errors (The procedure entry point MARK_NOT_MUTABLE could not be located in the dynamic link library << arose 4 times in succession) after installation of a package, though the package seemed to load.
Replace name with your local user folder name
Add/change path in RStudio
A useful link to make changes in default user-installed library paths :
https://www.accelebrate.com/library/how-to-articles/r-rstudio-library
To find out where a package has been installed:
find.package('package_name')
The directions nobody else supplied worked for me, but I found this guide, and it worked. Spent way too much time trying all these when I just needed a few simple commands. https://developers.refinitiv.com/en/article-catalog/article/setup-jupyter-notebook-r
I already had R and python installed, so I skipped to step 3. The only seems to mention windows, but it worked for me on mac as well. After following them I was able to install the packages using install.packages("dplyr", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org") in a cell in jupyter.
You have to create a directory in which your package will be and do for eg:
install.packages('ggplot2',loc='your directory')
First Step: You can install the IRkernel packages by running the following command in an R console:install.packages('IRkernel')
Second Step: You will have to make Jupyter see the newly installed R kernel by installing a kernel spec. To install system-wide, set user to False in the installspec command IRkernel::installspec(user = FALSE)
