I'm attempting to install Progress' DataDirect for Windows 64-bit in order to create an ODBC for Salesforce.com. Each time I attempt to install the software, the installation stalls at 6%. Any idea what might be causing this or how I can get around it to successfully install the program?
Can you run the installer "As Administrator"? I'm not sure what else might cause that issue and you can contact them here if you need evaluation support.

I was developing a shiny-app on a Windows machine in Rstudio. Now I need to develop it on a Linux machine and later on will need to deploy it on a server. Because of the need to run the app across platforms, I was looking into some environment control application so that I don't have to tune and reinstall the needed packages manually.
I tried to use Packrat for this purpose. I made a snapshot on my Windows machine, copied and pasted the project to my Ubuntu, reopened the project on RStudio, installed Packrat and the restore of the packages ran automatically. Then I ran into an issue that some of the packages that requires system dependencies were not installed automatically, e.g. rgdal and jqr. Therefore, I had to manually install those system dependencies manually in a terminal (it took me a while because there were about 10 of them that requires extra system dependencies).
I am wondering if there is an easier way to just automatically handle this. Later on, I will need to work with a system administer to deploy the app to the server. I am wondering if Packrat has the capability of automatically installing system dependencies on Linux machine/server. If anyone has encounter this issue before, or have other better options, please let me know!
Thank you!
Hello and welcome to StackOverflow.
You are facing a question that is actually much harder to tackle than you may think at first---deployment of complex R package dependencies across different operating systems is a truly hard and, truth be told, unsolved problem!
You can of course use packrat and renv for R package dependencies and snapshots of particular versions. But this does not do anything for system-level dependencies which are simply taken as "given". So no to just transfering to another box and saying "abracadabra". Sorry!
The closest we all may have gotten to fixing this may be Docker where you can create a portable unit of execution that can be deployed whereever Docker run: Windows, macOS, different Linux flavours, ... as it encodes everything.
I have a CRAN package that has inputenc errors when creating vignette PDF outputs in a strict Latin1 locale. The check results have errors for flavor
r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-clang, which uses LANG=en_US.iso885915. I believe I may have fixed the problem (it was a warning on my Mac). However, I feel I should check the problem on Linux as well before submitting bug fixes to CRAN. It was suggested to me that to check that my package fixes the error on LANG=en_US.iso885915, that I should run the following command on Linux:
LANG=en_US.iso88591 R CMD check
I do not have access to Linux and will not for the reasonably foreseeable future. I am trying to figure out how to run this command on my macOS Catalina (version 10.15.3). With little experience running Linux on Mac, I have been doing searches online, with an example forum here. There are some negatives discussed there, including the lack of necessity of running Linux on Mac (usually), installation of Linux restraints on latest MacBooks, and virtual machines not truly representing what Linux can do.
I decided it may be helpful for me to ask here on SO. I do not have too much storage left on my Mac and I would likely delete any Linux installations quickly since I will likely not need them outside of this one issue. I also do not have much experience installing virtual machines and Linux. I also hope to avoid any other risks I may not even be aware of to my computer.
What is the best way (convenient, low risk, quick, low storage requirements) you may know for someone in my position to check this recommended command (LANG=en_US.iso88591 R CMD check) with access to simply my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)? Thank you for sharing suggestions!
I've just joined a new office and their security is very tight. Essentially, we cannot go online without connecting to another machine. This means any applications that attempt to connect online won't connect to anything.
I'm trying to set up atom for python development (I've not used atom before and it's all that available to me!) - but the lack of internet is causing an issue.
I understand that to install a package, I can download it from github, and extract it to ~/.atom/packages - and this works! But what do I do with packages with dependencies that haven't been downloaded? Is there a simple way to get the package and the dependency whilst being offline?
I've also noticed that although my office has atom installed there's no 'apm' or 'npm' commands in the terminal...is this common?
thanks
I am trying to install Oracle 12c instant 32-bit client alongside my 64-bit installation because I can't connect Visual Studio to the 64-bit version (throws BadImageFormatException). I run the installer and give it another directory for home, so it's like this:
64-bit: D:\app\MyUser\product\12.1.0\dbhome_1 (previously installed)
32-bit: D:\app\Lazar\product\12.1.0\dbhome_x84
The installer performs the checks and sends me to next step. I click install and it crashes!
Can someone please help?
I've actually run into the same problem. It looks like it is some sort of issue with the registry.
It appears to be a missing registry entry for the location of the Oracle Inventory. The below blog explains the following steps to add the missing registry key:
Open regedit
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node
Create a new key with name "Oracle"
Go to Oracle and then create a new String Value with name "inst_loc"
Give the value as "C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\Inventory"
Retry installation
This blog post has more detail on the fix (though not much) and is where I originally found my solution.

I also had the same issue and finally realized that Oracle installer doesn't support both 64bit and 32bit versions alongside. At least as you have mentioned in the question, it has got a bug. Here how I resolved the problem.
Hence both 64bit & 32bit versions unable to install alongside, first, uninstall the 64bit version.
Run the command %ORACLE_HOME%\deinstall\deinstall.bat
If any errors occur while uninstall, refer to the log and correct accordingly.
Recommend to restart the computer.
Install the 32bit version.
This will resolve your problem.
I need a replacement for RStudio Server which I can install and manage myself on a remote server (no sudo access). Gedit + XQuartz on my MacBook performs very poorly due to the lack of integration with R.
I was looking at vimR, and it appears to have the functionality that I need and should be able to easily extend to Python and other programming languages, which is important. But I think this guide is out of date, and the installation of dependencies is convoluted and ultimately requires installing via the package manager which is not an option.
Are there other alternatives to this? Google has not brought up anything useful so far.
