Problem installing Oracle R Connector for Hadoop package

958681

Hi all,

I have installed R distribution from CRAN open source and trying to install the ORCH package(which is a zip file) using:

R CMD INSTALL orch -l /package/location

but it did not get installed.

Does ORCH works with the above R distribution and if yes how to install this package?

Thanks in advance for help.

Hi,

I found a documentation here :
[ http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27101_01/doc.10/e27365/start.htm#CHDJIBGI]

This documentation specified that the downloaded file is orhc.tgz.zip file whereas I am downloading and getting orch.zip file.

I am downloading it from here:
[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/bdc/big-data-connectors/downloads/index.html]

Please help.

Regards,
Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,

ORCH will also work with R from CRAN.

Please try the following steps:

1. Unzip the orch_1.1.zip file. E.g.:
unzip orch_1.1.zip

2. Install ORCH package from directory. E.g.:
R CMD INSTALL ORCH

At this point you should see the following log (or similar):

R CMD INSTALL ORCH
* installing to library ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/library’
* installing source package ‘ORCH’ ...
** R
** inst
** preparing package for lazy loading
** help
No man pages found in package ‘ORCH’
*** installing help indices
** building package indices
** testing if installed package can be loaded
*** arch - i386
<... and more ...>

3. Remove ORCH source directory, you don't need it any more. E.g.:
rm -rf ORCH
