I'd like to use the gganimate package, but it requires gifski which is failing.

* installing *source* package ‘gifski’ ...
** package ‘gifski’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
------------------ RUST COMPILER NOT FOUND --------------------

Cargo was not found on the PATH. Please install cargo / rustc:

 - yum install cargo         (Fedora/CentOS)
 - apt-get install cargo     (Debian/Ubuntu)
 - brew install rustc        (MacOS)

Alternatively install Rust from: <https://www.rust-lang.org>

---------------------------------------------------------------

ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘gifski’
* removing ‘/home/User/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.5/gifski’
Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘gifski’ had non-zero exit status

It says I need to install Rust, but I've done that. I ran these commands and then rebooted.

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"

I'm on a CentOS Linux machine hosted on EC2.

If you're in linux Ubuntu, first install rust compiler:

terminal > sudo apt-get install cargo

then, install gifski from github: devtool::install_github("r-rust/gifski")

or using remotes package: remotes::install_github("r-rust/gifski")

i hope i helped you.

  • OP said they were on CentOS (Red Hat derivative, yum-based), so an Ubuntu-focused solution might not help them. – Ben Bolker Apr 30 '20 at 21:56
