I\'m trying to install the tm
package on IBM\'s Data Science Experience (DSX):
install.packages(\"tm\")
However, I\'m hitting this
You need to install slam either by
install.packages("slam")
OR
slam_url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/slam/slam_0.1-37.tar.gz"
install_url(slam_url)
try sudo apt-get install r-cran-slam (worked for lubuntu)
If you try to install slam
with install.packages()
, then the version 0.1.40 will be used from CRAN. According to your error and the DESCRIPTION file of the library, it has the dependency on R (>= 3.3.1).
If a older version of slam
is useful for you, then you can install it from the CRAN archives. See https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/slam/
According to the documentation for tm
, it has a dependency on slam (≥ 0.1-31). See https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tm/index.html
Previous versions have a dependency on older R versions. The following code worked for me to install slam_0.1.37
on DSX:
library(devtools)
install_url("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/slam/slam_0.1-37.tar.gz")
# test slam
library(slam)
a <- as.simple_sparse_array(1:3)
a
extend_simple_sparse_array(a, c( 0L, 1L))
