Installation instructions
kenahoo opened this issue · comments
On https://github.com/RevolutionAnalytics/RHadoop/wiki/rmr , it says "rmr2 itself needs to be installed on each node" but doesn't really say how to go about that. The package isn't on CRAN, so I kind of guessed and did this:
install_github('rmr2', 'RevolutionAnalytics', subdir="pkg")
Are there released versions somewhere or a special repository containing them?
A glaring omission. I am sorry and surprised nobody raised this before. Check it now and if it makes sense please close this ticket, otherwise make yourself heard. Install_github will get you the current master branch, which is the current stable version + hotfixes but it's not necessarily fully tested. If you grab a download from the Downloads page, that's fully tested at least on one platform. To get the same from the repo you need to use tags.
Oops, I thought I closed this ticket on Tuesday. Yes, that makes sense, I do think I'll most often grab by tag than by tarball. Thanks.
