R服务器：install.packages（）证书错误

Question

Trying to install R packages from an artifactory server. The CRAN plug in is installed, I can curl the contents using the default CA on the VM however when running this command:

install.packages("*PACKAGE*", repos="*ARTIFACTORY SERVER*")

I get the following output:

Installing package into '/home/qbeadmin/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.3' (as 'lib' is unspecified) curl: (60) Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized. More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

This looks like R Server is not using the default ca-bundle.crt but i dont know how to configure this

Thanks in advance,

Kind Regards

Answer 1

You can configure the location of the CA bundles used by cURL by the setting the CURL_CA_BUNDLE environment variable in the Renviron file.
This is documented in the download.file documentation.

Answer 2

As an alternative, you can download the package first, and install it. For example with Cairo package :

curl -kO https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Cairo_1.5-8.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL Cairo_1.5-8.tar.gz
