如何在 R 4.0.2 中安装“mxnet”包

Question

Good afternoon. Recently I have encountered the problem with installing "mxnet" package. I have tried several variants of code, but neither of their actually installs this package.

1.

cran <- getOption("repos")
   cran["dmlc"] <- "https://apache-mxnet.s3-accelerate.dualstack.amazonaws.com/R/CRAN/15"
options(repos = cran)
  install.packages("mxnet")
  library(mxnet)

And get the error like this:

Error: package or namespace load failed for 'mxnet': package 'mxnet' was installed before R 4.0.0: please re-install it

install.packages("https://github.com/jeremiedb/mxnet_winbin/raw/master/mxnet.zip", repos = NULL)

Then I type library(mxnet) and get the error message as in p.1.

3.

cran <- getOption("repos")
cran["dmlc"] <- "https://apache-mxnet.s3-accelerate.dualstack.amazonaws.com/R/CRAN/23"
options(repos = cran)

library(devtools)
require(devtools)

install_version("DiagrammeR", version = "0.9.0", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")
require(DiagrammeR)

install.packages("mxnet")
library(mxnet)

After executing this code I get the following error:

ERROR: failed to lock directory 'C:/Users/user/Documents/R/win-library/4.0' for modifying

In the end, mxnet package hasn't been installed in RStudio yet.

I have familizrized myself with MXNet package installation in R , but some of the instructions, given there, didn't bring any help. Other coincide with my code.

Could you, please, tell me, how to successfully install this package ? What code should I run?

Thank you for your effort.

Answer 1

As there is no prebuilt MXNet binary available for the version of R that you are using, you will need to follow the build from source instructions. Please see https://mxnet.apache.org/versions/1.7.0/get_started/build_from_source

You can follow these instructions but use the 1.8.0rc2 release archive instead of 1.7.0 if you like.

This question is duplicate of R: namespace load failed for 'mxnet': package 'mxnet' was installed before R 4.0.0: please re-install it but can't be flagged as duplicate as there are no accepted answers.
