I want to install a package named "locClass" in R but always failed and kept getting the following warning:
install.packages("locClass", repos="http://download.r-forge.r-project.org/")
Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘locClass’
These will not be installed
The install command is referred to: https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=1187
Also, I downloaded the package source from the above website. But R returned the following:
library(locClass)
Error in library(locClass) : ‘locClass’ is not a valid installed package
My R version is 3.3.3. I tried the 3.4.0 but failed the same way.
This is not exactly a solution but an alternative to utilize functionality of package locClass. Download the package file of locClass from here and source(functions.R) present here. This way you can use all functions available in package.
Note : function.R means FLXMCL.R, FLXMCLconstant.R etc.
I'm still looking for a better solution but this is a temporary alternative.

Downloaded package from below URL.
Attempted to install using below command; response shown.

It appears this is a compiled package that maybe I don't have the source for? Is there a way to force install of the package? I'm unable to install using Rstudio GUI in its current form as a zip. Tried repackaging to tar.gz has Rstudio was looking for and also had a non-zero exit status error.
Any ideas?
I'm afraid this can't be achieved directly. The error message says it well: to use a package in R it needs to be built on an R version matching yours.
I can suggest two ways to move forward:
Contact the authors, ask for the R sources (it is somewhat surprising they did not make them available in the first place), and build the package yourself.
Downgrade your R version as far back as needed to match the one this pre-built package used.
I'm trying to install a package called "DiabetesTxPath-master" from local files.(The file can be downloaded in https://github.com/rohit43/DiabetesTxPath)
I used the code below installing it.
'filename<-"DiabetesTxPath-master.zip"'
install.packages(filename,type="binary",repos=NULL)
but when I try to load the packaged by the code below,
library(DiabetesTxPath)
error comes up.
there is no package called ‘DiabetesTxPath-master'
There is no problem in location.
.libPaths()
[1] "C:/Program Files/R/R-3.4.2/library"'
and this is where I want my package to be installed.
(and I see my packaged installed in the folder with my eyes!)
2.I've also tried to run as an administrator. it didn't work either.
So what could be the probelm, and how could I fix this?
Any comment would be appreciated so much.
I've been trying it so hard for a week.
Try using
library(devtools)
install_github("rohit43/DiabetesTxPath")
the problem arises because the dependencies for this package
ERROR: dependencies 'FeatureExtraction', 'CohortMethod',
'OhdsiSharing' are not available for package 'DiabetesTxPath'
are not available for this package in R 3.5 and above .
Now you need to install older version of R where these dependencies were supported and try using the above method.
Please be patient with me as I'm a total noob, but I'm really trying to learn.
I'm trying to make a choropleth map for my country, and found an R package on Github that handles it excellently. However, I'm working on a university computer and I don't have write privileges on any drive but M://, so whenever the package tries to install on C:// it obviously throws an error. This hasn't been a problem since I can just specify a libpath as an argument on install.packages, but devtools::install_github does not seem to have such an argument.
I tried using
with_libpaths(new = "M:\R\win-library\3.2", install_github('diegovalle/mxmaps'))
But I got an error message saying
with_libpaths' is deprecated. Use 'withr::with_libpaths' instead.
I take this to mean that I need to install the "withr" package in order to use that? However, I keep getting errors when trying to install that package. First, I got
Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘withr’ had
non-zero exit status
because of the not having access to C:// issue. I usually bypass this by installing directly from the binaries, but when I try that it tells me
"Warning in install.packages : package ‘withr’ is not available (for R
version 3.2.2)".
Other than updating my version of R (which will be a nighmare since I don't have installation privileges on this machine), how else can I either install withr or find another way to specify the directory to install the package from github?
I would suggest you to go with latest version of 3.4.All above mentioned packages are available under latest version.
Two ways to set local library paths (at least on Linux running R 3.5.3):
(1) At the beginning of your script, set the the .libPaths option to your local library path, i.e.: .libPaths("M:\R\win-library\3.2")
(2) Add to your .Renviron file a line that specifies your local library path: i.e.: R_LIBS="M:\R\win-library\3.2"
Note: For (1) You will need to manually run every time you start a new R session, whereas (2) will be set automatically when R starts.
I'd like to use package CentiServer in R. However, I'm getting the same error with different R versions (3.3.3 and 3.1.1):
Warning: unable to access index for repository
https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.1 Warning message:
package ‘CentiServer’ is not available (for R version 3.1.1)
This post is a great source, still, these steps couldn't help me to find a solution: How should I deal with "package 'xxx' is not available (for R version x.y.z)" warning?
Since I cannot install the package, I started to think about that it could be easier to just find the source codes of some useful functions in the .zip file. Where can I find those in the .zip file?
Thank you in advance.
I installed a R package as suggested by How do I install an R package from source?, using R CMD INSTALL [my_pkg_path.tgz]. Package sources are downloaded from r-project.org, e.g., http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/fields/index.html
However, when I try to load the package using say library(fields), I got the error that complains the package are built for universal-apple-darwin:
Error: package ‘fields’ was built for universal-apple-darwin9.8.0
Guess it's something to do with architecture, but no idea how to resolve it. Any idea? Thanks.
It looks like you downloaded the package's Mac OSX binary file, which usually ends in .tgz - try downloading the package source (usually something ending in .tar.gz) and installing the package again.
Depending on what your operating system is, you may need an additional set of software before you can install packages from source. If the above suggestion doesn't work, would you provide some information about the OS, for example from sessionInfo()?
