I wanted to install R to try it and test it to see if it was something I could work with on MacOS (Mojave).
It was nothing short of an f-ing nightmare.
Wonder if this service will help.
- jaz46 6y agoWe have lots of users who develop pipelines in R. Here's the standard iris example in R (example also include Python and Julia) if you're interested: https://github.com/pachyderm/pachyderm/tree/master/examples/ml/iris https://github.com/pachyderm/pachyderm/tree/master/examples/...
- claytonjy 6y agoI don't think this solves that problem, or intends to. You can run R in pachyderm via Docker, but that's unlikely to be a good way to test R out. If you like Docker, try the images from Rocker: https://www.rocker-project.org/ https://www.rocker-project.org/. The one with RStudio server is especially useful for local experimentation.

- racl101 6y agoThe problem was with C dependencies. I'd install Xcode CLI tools, that didn't work then I'd try installing them with brew and that didn't work. I was trying to get Jupyter Notebook and an R engine to work as advertised in a Packt ebook. Only way I got it to work was not by installing it on MacOS but a Vagrantbox and then doing port fowarding. But I'll have to look into the Docker way. Maybe that way is better.
