inside rocker/tidyverse:3.3.2 even if I install r-cran-rjava r-cran-nloptr without error, both package rJAva and nloptr are missing in R. Any idea why ?
see the Docker file bellow :
FROM rocker/tidyverse:3.3.2
RUN printf "deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie main\ndeb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie main\ndeb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main\ndeb-src http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main" > /etc/apt/sources.list
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends apt-utils
RUN apt-get -y update && apt-get install -y \
default-jdk r-cran-rjava r-cran-nloptr libssh2-1-dev
RUN R -e "library('rJava')" # Error in library("rJava") : there is no package called ‘rJava’
RUN R -e "library('nloptr')" # Error in library("nloptr") : there is no package called nloptr
thanks
This is because you are installing package binaries prepared for the latest stable version of R but the R you have installed is an older version, you are not installing the package for the R version you want to use.
