Warning in install.packages :
error 1 in extracting from zip file
Warning in install.packages :
cannot open compressed file 'tabulizerjars/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory'
Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection
It looks like the answer is yes. If you go to a package's canonical page on CRAN, its SystemRequirements:
should be listed. Since Java (>= 7.0)
is on there, it's required for the package to work.
https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=tabulizer
Yes, you need to install java the install 'rJava' from R studio, then install 'tabulizerjars' !
If your question's been answered (even if by you!), would you mind choosing a solution? (see FAQ below for how) It makes it a bit easier to visually navigate the site and see which questions still need help.
Thanks
