RevoScaleR package for Microsoft R Open 3.5.3

I've tried to install the RevoScaleR package within Microsoft R Open 3.5.3 but I get the message

"package ‘RevoScaleR’ is not available (for R version 3.5.3)"

which I suppose is clear enough. Is there any way around this? Or will I just have to drop back to an earlier version of MRO to get it to work? I need to use the rxGlm() function because the standard glm() function won't cope with the data I'm working with (size and complexity).

Thanks

Solution

  • Microsoft R Open does not include the proprietary R libraries. You can get these for free by using Microsoft R Client instead, which is Microsoft R Open with the addition of RevoScaleR built in. This package is not open source and cannot be installed into a regular R installation.
