📣 Announcing Dash for R

Dash Python
21

Hi @leosmi, I’m sorry you’re running into this problem. Have you tried uninstalling all the Dash packages, then reinstalling them?

It seems to occur infrequently, but usually removing and installing again does the trick. Try this: start up a fresh session of R and then complete the following steps:

if ("dash" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))
  remove.packages("dash")
if ("dashHtmlComponents" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))
  remove.packages("dashHtmlComponents")
if ("dashCoreComponents" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))
  remove.packages("dashCoreComponents")
if ("dashTable" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))
  remove.packages("dashTable")

Then, quit and restart R, and try

devtools::install_github("plotly/dashR", upgrade = TRUE)

If that doesn’t work, let me know and we’ll try to sort it out!

(Also, in case it helps anyone in the future, I’ll link two closed GitHub issues which describe similar problems with some notes on possible resolutions.)

Hi, thank you for your support!

Just uninstalling the packages won’t work, I had to install some dependencies on Linux like this line of code:

$ sudo apt-get -y install libcurl4-gnutls-dev libxml2-dev libssl-dev
$ sudo su  
$ R
> install.packages('devtools', repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')

And then:

devtools::install_github("plotly/dashR", upgrade = TRUE)

The main problem was the devtools package.

source: r - installation of package ‘devtools’ had non-zero exit status on Ubuntu - Stack Overflow

Thank you again!
