Unable to install package "checkpoint" on R3.6.3

Hello,

I needed help to install checkpoint package. I tried stackoverflow to no
help. I did conda update -all and conda clean -all as well.

As per the screenshot attachments, some packages did not get installed
while doing "install.packages("checkpoint")" on R console. I retried using
different mirrors for download to no good.

So, I am not able to install Shiny to run my web app as
install.packages("shiny") also says eventually that package checkpoint is
missing.

I have downloaded the package as a zip also from
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/checkpoint/index.html. I unzipped
the folder but which file from inside should i run to install checkpoint to
my RStudio in my Windows PC.

i am a novice to R programming; so please help.

Regards

Hi,

Once downloaded the package as a zip, to install checkpoint with your RStudio you don't need to unzip the compressed package. From RStudio, click on Install (in pane Files, Plots, Packages, and Help - Packages tab),select Install from: Package Archive File, choose the downloaded zip file and click Install.

As a side note, it is strange that "install.packages("shiny") also says eventually that package checkpoint is missing" since shiny does neither depends (on) nor imports checkpoint.

Regards

Attachments didn't make it through: the mailing list filters them (it's
mentioned in the posting guide). Please copy and paste the text
containing the error messages. You're already sending plain text
e-mail, which is the right thing to do with this mailing list, so
you're halfway there.
This could be an Anaconda-related problem. See
<https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/help-support.html> for Anaconda
support.

Hello,

Instead of downloading the zip file, download the tar.gz file from [1]

checkpoint_0.4.10.tar.gz

and at a command line run

R CMD INSTALL checkpoint_0.4.10.tar.gz


[1] https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/checkpoint/

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
