Error while Installing sparkR

Question

I'm trying to install SparkR

library(devtools)
install_github("amplab-extras/SparkR-pkg", subdir="pkg")

but then I find this error

Launching sbt from sbt/sbt-launch-0.13.6.jar Invalid or corrupt jarfile sbt/sbt-launch-0.13.6.jar make: *** [target/scala-2.10/sparkr-assembly-0.1.jar] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘SparkR’ * removing ‘/Users/apple/Library/R/3.2/library/SparkR’ Error: Command failed (1)

Answer 1

Read before proceeding:

amplab-extras/SparkR-pkg is no longer maintained. Current versions of SparkR are shipped with Spark itself. See also Installing of SparkR

Sbt download links in the repository are invalid and what you get is actually a HTML file. You can either correct URL2 in pkg/src/sbt/sbt so it points to:

http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases/org.scala-sbt/sbt-launch/0.13.6/sbt-launch.jar

or download and install sbt, clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/amplab-extras/SparkR-pkg.git

go to src:

cd SparkR-pkg/pkg/src

assembly:

sbt assembly

and install:

R -e "devtools::install('.')"
