Trouble installing R packages via rip.py

[rmnppt]

I am trying to install the following R packages by adding the following lines to packages.txt

dplyr
tidytext

When I subsequently compile and run the algorithm I get either:

Error: Failed to start algorithm - Loading required package: methods Error in library("tidytext") : there is no package called ‘tidytext’ Calls: source -> withVisible -> eval -> eval -> library Execution halted Failed to load: exited with code 1

or:

Error: Failed to start algorithm - Loading required package: methods Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) : namespace ‘R6’ 2.2.0 is being loaded, but >= 2.2.2 is required Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘dplyr’ Execution halted Failed to load: exited with code 1

depending on which package I load first. I started to go through a combination of installations from the archives of those two packages (sometimes older versions installed and ran fine) but is there something in the workflow of build that would be breaking these installations?

Am I right in thinking that the contents of bin/ are non write-able for the algorithm developer?

It looks like tidytext is the one causing the problem here. This is due to the fact that we are running an older version of R. We are actively working on upgrading R but that will be a while. In the meantime, this set of dependencies should allow you to use the two packages you need:

mnormt
foreign
reshape2
hunspell
tokenizers

dplyr

Great thank you. That worked fine. I will close this one and open another regarding R versions.
Your help is much appreciated.
