Error in library("reprtree") : there is no package called ‘reprtree’
Opened this issue · 22 comments
The comment above is the error message I receive in R v 3.5.1 when I attempt to install the reprtree package using the code below:
`options(repos='http://cran.rstudio.org')
have.packages <- installed.packages()
cran.packages <- c('devtools','plotrix','randomForest','tree')
to.install <- setdiff(cran.packages, have.packages[,1])
if(length(to.install)>0) install.packages(to.install)
library(devtools)
if(!('reprtree' %in% installed.packages())){
install_github('araastat','reprtree')
}
for(p in c(cran.packages, 'reprtree')) eval(substitute(library(pkg), list(pkg=p)))`
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Hi I was able to get this working by doing the following:
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github('araastat/reprtree')
library(reprtree)
Hi, thanks for the alternative solution, however I just tried to run it and it gave me the error: Installation failed: Command failed (1)
Something is wrong with the documentation. Clone the repo or download it as a zip and extract it. Delete the man directory. Then in R run:
options(repos='http://cran.rstudio.org')
have.packages <- installed.packages()
cran.packages <- c('devtools','plotrix','randomForest','tree')
to.install <- setdiff(cran.packages, have.packages[,1])
if(length(to.install)>0) install.packages(to.install)
library(devtools)
if(!('reprtree' %in% installed.packages())){
install_local('path/to/reprtree')
}
for(p in c(cran.packages, 'reprtree')) eval(substitute(library(pkg), list(pkg=p)))Ensure to update the install_local line inside the if statement to your proper local path.
This did not work ... I tried the following ...
options(repos='http://cran.rstudio.org')
have.packages <- installed.packages()
cran.packages <- c('devtools','plotrix','randomForest','tree')
to.install <- setdiff(cran.packages, have.packages[,1])
if(length(to.install)>0) install.packages(to.install)
library(devtools)
if(!('reprtree' %in% installed.packages())){
install_local('C:/Users/dbamp/Documents/R/win-library/3.5/reprtree-master/')
}
for(p in c(cran.packages, 'reprtree')) eval(substitute(library(pkg), list(pkg=p)))
library(reprtree)
Any thoughts?
Skinner927's comment on Oct 22, 2018 work perfectly. The key is to delete the man folder from the source code.
I cannot successfully download this package. I have tried all of the above code. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Hi @derkooh. I tried that and received the following error. I think that means there is a problem with the text.tree.R file on line 41. I don't know how to get around this.

@abalbar Did you try my solution? The generation of the manual causes the build to crash.
I haven't worked in R in a long time, but I just set up a new environment and had no problem installing this library using install_github.
However, since you're still having issues @abalbar, I forked the repo and removed the man directory. Try installing the library using my fork:
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github('skinner927/reprtree')
library(reprtree)
The fork you created worked for me @Skinner927. Thanks so much for your help!

I would like to share my recent experience in installing 'reprtree" and hope it may help others with similar problems.
Initially I encountered the difficulty in installing this package even following all the instruction discussed above (even the final solution code offered by Skinner927 cannot work...).
FINALLY, I realized it is my system problems--- R version is too old and extra packages are needed for this installation!
What I did are as follows:
- download the latest R version
- install 'devtools' package
- install 'installr' package
- install 'Rtools' pacakge (which is a must for some reasons)
c.f. refer to the following link for installation of Rtools https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/installr/versions/0.22.0/topics/install.Rtools - require all these three packages
- run the solution code offered by Skinner927
after updating R version...
install.packages("devtools")
install.packages("installr") # need this package to install Rtools
install.Rtools() #install the latest version of Rtools
library(installr)
library(devtools)
#the solution code offered by Skinner927
devtools::install_github('skinner927/reprtree')
#have to run randomForest before running reprtree
library(randomForest)
library(reprtree)

Thank you so much @Skinner927 !
it worked for me
sorry if the question is too silly, i'm still a beginner. I'm having problems installing the package -
Erro: Failed to install 'reprtree' from GitHub:
(convertido do aviso) installation of package ‘C:/Users/inaja/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpgzlHN2/file25e8327b3e25/reprtree_0.6.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status-
I've already followed all the steps, the only thing I don't know how to do and maybe that's the problem is "forked the repo and removed the man directory"
could anybody teach me how to do this?
Thanks
@scatri Try the instructions in my other comment: #12 (comment)
Just run the instructions at the end of it in R.

Hi,
I am using R version 3.6.2
I still unable to install reprtree package event I tried to follow #12 (comment).
Do you have an idea how to solve this? I am blank already.
Hereby I share the error:

Hi Everyone,
Never mind, i already found the solution.
My solution to install all package that is not in cran is like this.
-
First, try to use command
devtools::install_git("https://github.com/xxxxx/XXX") -
If error like mine in previous comment, you can try to search the "reprtree_0.6.tar.gz" in temp directory
-
Then copy that file into any path in your machine
-
Then try to install using GUI install and point to repository that you have save just now.
Its work for me on R 3.6.2
Have a try! Hope this will help others. Tq

Sorry @pdxeduarda , I haven't worked in R since 2018, and then it was only to help my wife with homework.
I have no idea what the error means, sorry.

Hi, Your solution works. Thanks, you are a life saver!
try devtools but from different source:
install.packages('devtools',repos='http://cran.us.r-project.org')
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github('skinner927/reprtree')
library(reprtree)
