I have avro files in my local drive to read and i want these to be analysed through R. However this package is not getting installed. It is not available in cran so i had to download via GitHub. Here is the link:

https://github.com/RevolutionAnalytics/ravro/

I am getting the following error upon loading/installing in RStudio for this ERROR: dependencies 'bit64', 'rjson' are not available for package 'ravro'

removing 'C:/Users/xyz/Documents/R/win-library/4.0/ravro' Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘C:/xyz/ravro/ravro-master/build/ravro_1.0.4.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

Also when i run install_github("RevolutionAnalytics/ravro") it returns the error:

"Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub:HTTP error 404. Not Found Did you spell the repo owner (RevolutionAnalytics) and repo name (ravro) correctly? If spelling is correct, check that you have the required permissions to access the repo."

Can anybody test and try to install this package and if its successful please let me know !

  • So you need to install the dependencies `bit64` and `rjson` first. Installation from github does not install dependencies automatically. Also note that repo not updated in 7 years, so there may be problems. – neilfws Mar 18 '21 at 05:03
  • so it needed 4 dependencies Rpcc, rjson,bit64, bit and active java(1.6v at least) according to the git instructions . Still after installing these dependenices i am receiving error: * installing *source* package 'ravro' ... ** using staged installation ** libs Warning in system(cmd) : 'make' not found ERROR: compilation failed for package 'ravro' * removing 'C:/Users/Documents/R/win-library/4.0/ravro' Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘C:/User/ravro/ravro-master/build/ravro_1.0.4.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status – tailchopper Mar 18 '21 at 07:41
  • Sounds like you need to install [Rtools](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/). – neilfws Mar 18 '21 at 21:02
  • I already have Rtools installed – tailchopper Mar 18 '21 at 23:14
  • In that case "make not found" should not occur. Maybe try reinstalling? – neilfws Mar 18 '21 at 23:14
