Unable to install party package ( R) in ADLA

Question

I am trying to install 'party' package in ADLA.

We have tried:

• https://github.com/ArpitSisodia/ADLAwithR-GettingStarted/blob/master/Tutorial/Exercise3/outex3b.txt

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-lake-analytics/data-lake-analytics-u-sql-r-extensions

and few more ways, but party package is not getting installed.

Answer 1

The easy way to do it, its download the file on datalake in directory: usqlext\assembly\R\MRS.9.1.0.zip

Them you unzip the file (on a machine without R installed) and execute R.exe on bin folder.

Now you can install all packages you want (with parameter dependencies = true)

install.packages('yourpackage', dependencies = TRUE)

Zip the folder again and replace the file on datalake by this you created.

Execute RegisterAllAssemblies.USQL again, and your package will be available for you!

library('yourpackage')

If get not find package error, you need this trick:

libpath = .libPaths()[1]
install.packages('yourpackage', lib = libpath)
