Build R package from source directly from GitHub
Note
-
It is strongly recommended to install the released version. Try it if other installation methods result in errors.
-
Training or inference on CUDA-enabled GPUs requires NVIDIA Driver of version 450.80.02 or higher.
To install the R package directly from the CatBoost repository:
- Set up build environment
Warning
CatBoost uses CMake-based build process since this commit. Previously Ya Make (Yandex's build system) had been used.
Select the appropriate build environment setup below accordingly.
-
Run the following commands:
install.packages('remotes') remotes::install_github('catboost/catboost', subdir = 'catboost/R-package')
Troubleshooting
Installation error
If you use script for installation, try to add the repos parameter to the install.packages('devtools') command.
Select any repository from the list.
Example: install.packages("devtools", repos="http://cran.us.r-project.org").
ERROR: some hard-coded temporary paths could not be fixed
This can be mitigated by adding "--no-staged-install" option to INSTALL_opts parameter of remotes::install_url call
