How to install forecast package of R in ubuntu 12.04? - r

I tried the following code for installation
>install.packages("forecast")
The error occurs like:
ERROR: dependency ‘Rcpp’ is not available for package ‘RcppArmadillo’
* removing ‘/root/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.14/RcppArmadillo’
ERROR: dependencies ‘Rcpp’, ‘RcppArmadillo’ are not available for package ‘forecast’
* removing ‘/root/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.14/forecast’

Warning messages:
1: In install.packages("forecast") :

2: In install.packages("forecast") :

Your R version is too old for the current versions of the packages which forecast depends upon.
You can try manually installing an older version of the forecast package by downloading from its Archive/ section on CRAN. A good bet would a version of about the same age as your R installation.
If you upgrade R to a current version, the Rcpp, RcppArmadillo, ... all install fine, and so will the newest version of forecast. As you are on Ubuntu, it is actually extremely easy to get these newer version, just read the README here and add the apt repository information as described.

I resolved my problem as:
First of all I have add the my CRAN to the /etc/apt/sources.list. After that I executed the following command from my terminal
sudo apt-get update
and then
sudo apt-get upgrade
Once the upgradation done successful the in R console give the command
install.packages("forecast")
This has resolved my problem. For details information regarding this you can visit cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu.
And I thanks to Dirk Eddelbuettel for his kind suggestions.

If updating CRAN doesn't work, you might be missing gcc-fortran. This is needed for quadprog, which is needed for timeseries which in turn is needed for the CRAN forecast package.
To install the gcc-fortran package on Arch Linux, execute:
# pacman -S gcc-fortran
To install the fortran compiler on Ubuntu, execute:
# apt-get install gfortran

Trying to get Tidyverse installed in Linux mint 20.2

I've been working on getting RStudio to open on and off for the last few days, finally got it running and started installing packages. Readr installed fine but tidyverse refuses to install.

Warning in install.packages :

The downloaded source packages are in
‘/tmp/RtmpyoCTNu/downloaded_packages’
To fix this I've tried suggestions from two places:
The first option was 'sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev'
from this website: https://blog.zenggyu.com/en/post/2018-01-29/installing-r-r-packages-e-g-tidyverse-and-rstudio-on-ubuntu-linux/
The second this was 'sudo apt-get install r-base-dev xml2 libxml2-dev libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev unixodbc-dev'
from the rstudio community page: https://community.rstudio.com/t/cant-install-tidyverse/29293
A third option I found that is too advanced for me without guidance is this:
If openssl is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your PATH and
PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a openssl.pc file. If pkg-config is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I think something may not be in the proper place or is linked to the wrong location. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
(Also,for reference, this is the first time I've used linux so please dumb answers down as much as possible)
I've now gotten this to work. By looking at the error messages I found the dependencies that need to be installed before tidyverse can be installed (and function).
It is preferable but not necessary to get the latest version of R installed. I followed the steps in this tutorial:
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-rstudio-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux
In the interest of putting everything in one place, I'll put the steps here:
Step 1:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt -y install r-base gdebi-core
Step 2: Install Rstudio from their website
Step 3: For this step, make sure you're in the folder that has the file downloaded, for me that was in downloads
$ sudo gdebi rstudio-1.2.5019-amd64.deb
Step 4: Open Rstudio
To get tidyverse to work, my error messages were all about non-zero exit statuses. What I did was to go through, find the packages that weren't properly installing, and manually install them.
My first problem was with curl. I tried installing it in Rstudio first. When I got an error, I went into terminal and installed it with
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
If openssl refuses to install try:
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
I tried installing tidyverse again, no dice. It was still having trouble with xml2 and rvest. I installed xml2 in terminal with.
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
After that, rvest installed using Rstudio and tidyverse installed successfully.
These instructions work with both R 4.1.1 and R 3.4.4
It would seem that the R version here is quite old, version 3.6. A bunch of things that are tidyverse related broke around the switch from 3.* to 4.*.
If you follow a procedure like this, it should get you started on the right path with the proper R version and the rest will likely fall into place.
https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-r-on-ubuntu-20-04/
Occasionally, on linux machines, you will have packages that fail to install because of system level dependencies that are missing. Those messages are usually informative; they will tell you what you need and the command for acquiring it.

Warning in install.packages : package ‘rattle’ is not available (for R version 3.4.4)

I was trying to install.packages("rattle")
but it shows this :
Installing package into ‘/home/shahin/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘rattle’ is not available (for R version 3.4.4)
I am in ubuntu 18.04. I also tried to install RGtk2 that also shows error. How can i install rattle?
rattle requires R version 3.5.0 or higher.
Update R to the latest version, then you'll be able to install it.
You need to update your R version following these instructions : Ubuntu Packages for R. Pay attention to the Secure APT section.
Please run below commands in order to update your version:
install.packages("installr")
library(installr)
updateR()
This will start the updating process of your R installation by: “finding the latest R version, downloading it, running the installer, deleting the installation file, copy and updating old packages to the new R installation.”

Install lme4 from CRAN on Ubuntu

I'm having trouble installing the lme4 package from CRAN on Ubuntu 18.04. I'm running install.packages("lme4") on R 3.4.4 and get the following error:
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘nloptr’
* removing ‘/home/peter/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/nloptr’
ERROR: dependency ‘nloptr’ is not available for package ‘lme4’
* removing ‘/home/peter/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/lme4’
Looking more closely, I see these two error lines:
libtool: link: ERROR: no information for variable 'AR' cru .libs/libutil.a .libs/mt19937ar.o .libs/sobolseq.o .libs/timer.o .libs/stop.o .libs/redblack.o .libs/qsort_r.o .libs/rescale.o
checking for ranlib... ERROR: no information for variable 'RANLIB'
However, both ar and ranlib commands work on my machine. What may be the cause of the errors?
You just need to install the older version of nloptr package.
For example:
packageurl<-"https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nloptr/nloptr_1.2.1.tar.gz"
install.packages(packageurl, repos=NULL, type="source")
I guess you are using R 3.X. Such error is caused by package update for supporting R 4.0.
Finally I found the answer for that. I was struggling with the installation of the ggpubr packages in a Ubuntu 18.04. This answer resolve the dependencies problem.

Caret package failed to install

I am getting this errors trying to install caret package:

Any ideas?
install.packages("ddalpha")
It gives the same error:
/usr/lib64/R/library/BH/include/boost/exception/exception.hpp:137: error: expected declaration before end of line
make: *** [AlphaProcedure.o] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘ddalpha’
* removing ‘/home/rspark/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.3/ddalpha’
I have found a solution.
I had the same problem. After installing caret with all its dependencies, ddalpha was not installed. Then I tried installing the package ddalpha alone. I got the message:
" There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
binary source needs_compilation
ddalpha 1.2.1 1.3.1 TRUE
Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation?
y/n: n"
Well, if I anwser yes, it doesn't work. But when I answer no, it does work. It looks like the new version has some problem, but the previous one works fine.
As Roman indicated in the comments, ddalpha and recipes are dependencies that aren't installed yet. You can manually install them as follows:
install.packages(c('ddalpha', 'recipes'))
Alternatively, you can tell the install.packages() command to grab the necessary packages during the install process.
install.packages('caret', dependencies=TRUE)
Or list them explicitly:
install.packages('caret', dependencies=c('ddalpha', 'recipes'))
Or, if you use an IDE such as RStudio, the package manager that's included will automatically handle these dependencies for you.
If these suggestions don't solve the problem, you may try updating your instance of R to the latest (3.4.1 as I write this). Also, ddalpha is dependent on the Rcpp package version 0.11.0 or greater, so you may update that package.
update.packages('Rcpp')
I was facing the same issues, and I had tried almost all the methods mentioned here. But the only one that worked for me was updating my IDE and that sorted it out.
I had the same issue, running
install.packages('caret', dependencies=TRUE)
from console solved it. I don't know why at the packages window install with "install dependencies" checked didn't work..
R studio: 2022.07.1
R: 3.6.3

I've already installed libcurl4-gnutls-dev and libcurl4-openssl-dev and the libcurl version is 7.38.0.
Does anyone know a fix to this? Thanks ;)
The same problem happened to me when I was trying to install "devtools" package on a new machine with Ubuntu 16.04 system.
I tried many answers including the adopted one above, but I still couldn't solve the problem until I noticed another warning information "(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)". Then I realized that I was running R as a normal user while the R base is installed by root. It means the package "devtools" couldn't be installed into the default R library folder and possibly couldn't use some dependent packages. Then the solution became very easy: run R as root user and then install "devtools".
Following the instructions of Dean Attali (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-r-on-ubuntu-14-04), I summarize the steps below. Just run them in a terminal.
$ sudo apt-get -y install libcurl4-gnutls-dev libxml2-dev libssl-dev
$ sudo su
$ R
> install.packages('devtools', repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')
That's it. Since the package is installed by root, it can be used by all users of the system.
For Curl use:
apt-get -y build-dep libcurl4-gnutls-dev
apt-get -y install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
And you should update the R version to R-3.1.2
wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-3/R-3.1.2.tar.gz
I m using Ubuntu 16.04 and this is how I solved this issue:
aptitude install libssl-dev
then aptitude packg manage will allow you to choose the right version which is required for installation of devtools.
Repeat the same for
aptitude libcurl4-gnutls-dev
aptitude libxml2-dev
Finally, install this libgit2 lib
devtools::install_github('ropensci/git2r')
devtools::load_all()
R CMD INSTALL git2r
I could not solve it with apt-get packg manager. Thats all :) !
This error was happening when I was using 3.0.2. I updated the R, now It is fine. I also spent the one day to find the solution. I tried the all the solution. But, no effect. I updated the R using this solution. Now, devtools package is working.
Fedora 34
What did it for me was:
sudo dnf groupinstall "Development tools"
Not sure about that, but also:
sudo dnf install freetype-devel libpng-devel libtiff-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel
Don't know, don't care, but it worked!
