Installing nloptr on Linux

Question

I am trying to install the R package nloptr on a CentOS Linux machine that doesn\'t have internet connection as follows:

install.packages(\"/hom         


        

Answer 1

I had the same issue setting up nloptr on my RHEL 7.2 instance. For those using RHEL you can do the following: Download & install the following RPMS in the same order:

• NLopt-2.4.2-2.el7.x86_64.rpm- https://pkgs.org/centos-7/epel-x86_64/NLopt-2.4.2-2.el7.x86_64.rpm.html

• NLopt-devel-2.4.2-2.el7.x86_64.rpm - https://pkgs.org/centos-7/epel-x86_64/NLopt-devel-2.4.2-2.el7.x86_64.rpm.htm

Please note that these RPMs may need additional dependencies to be installed based on your system configuration.

Post this you can install nloptr directly using the install.packages utility or download source from CRAN and install from source as suggested in earlier responses.

Hope this helps!
