I started my mxnet package installation for R in ubuntu with the following command

install.packages("drat", repos="https://cran.rstudio.com")
drat:::addRepo("dmlc")
install.packages("mxnet")

while executing this command I got the following warning

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

Then I went for the command 

cran <- getOption("repos")
cran["dmlc"] <- "https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/apache-mxnet/R/CRAN/"
options(repos = cran)
install.packages("mxnet",dependencies = T)

At that time I got the warning 

Warning in install.packages :
  download of package ‘mxnet’ failed

For the first time I got installed the package ,but when I calling library(mxnet) I got the waring Error in library(mxnet) : there is no package called ‘mxnet’.After that I tried the same command above again ,at that time I got this error 

Warning in install.packages :
      download of package ‘mxnet’ failed

Please help me to solve this problem..

Download the mxnet.zip file to a folder, set it as working directory and then run:

install.packages("mxnet.zip", repos=NULL, type="win.binary")

You'll need to install like this:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet.git mxnet
cd mxnet/docs/install
./install_mxnet_ubuntu_python.sh
./install_mxnet_ubuntu_r.sh

More details in the comment.

  • I tried this code also..But after that also I am getting the same error.. Error in library(mxnet) : there is no package called ‘mxnet’ – Vishnu Mankulam Dec 27 '18 at 07:42
  • Hard luck mate! Hopefully someone else helps you solve your problem. I successfully installed it on my side. What hapens before you call `library(mxnet)`? Did the package install or not? Maybe check your internet? Or do a manual download of the package? – NelsonGon Dec 27 '18 at 07:49
