conda build r-ldavis/ not working

问题

I am new to jupyter, and I am looking to install an R package (tseries) that is available on CRAN

I was trying to follow a question that was raised, but I think I am getting a different problem.

I was originally following this link

conda - How to install R packages that are not available in "R-essentials"?

But it seems obvious that the answer direct me to another link which is

https://www.continuum.io/content/conda-data-science

under the Building a conda R package

They said to run

conda skeleton cran ldavis

and then I got the following

C:\Users\Rami>conda skeleton cran ldavis
Tip: install CacheControl (conda package) to cache the CRAN metadata
Fetching metadata from http://cran.r-project.org/

    return execute(sys.argv[1:])

    raise RuntimeError("directory already exists: %s" % dir_path)
RuntimeError: directory already exists: .\r-ldavis

Please help me in steps as I am really new to this on windows 10

回答1:

Thank you all for your remarks but the easiest way I found for not worrying about the r directory is through downloading the package directly from jupyter using the following command

install.packages('tseries', repos='http://cran.us.r-project.org')

This worked fine for me.
