Warning message while installing R package on JupiterLab: "non_zero exit status"

Question

I am trying to write a R code on an JupyterLab file (.ipynb) with R kernel.

I am trying to load the library "reticulate" but first I need to install the package the problem is that when I run:

install.packages("reticulate")

I get this message:

Warning message in install.packages("reticulate"):
“installation of package ‘reticulate’ had non-zero exit status”Updating HTML index of packages in '.Library'
Making 'packages.html' ... done

I found this link khttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/42459423/cannot-install-r-packages-in-jupyter-notebook and I used the code suggested there

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

but I still get the same message

Warning message in install.packages("reticulate", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org"): “installation of package ‘reticulate’ had non-zero exit status”Updating HTML index of packages in '.Library' Making 'packages.html' ... done

My question is: how can I install this package?

thank you in advance for your help

Answer 1

I solved it, the problem is that I first ran

install.packages("reticulate")

that didn't worked but created a folder or something that made impossible for

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

to work correctly, so I needed to cancel that folder first now it works
