the installation of reticulate::install_miniconda(force = TRUE) failed
I stepped inside the function and followed it to
reticulate:::miniconda_installer_run()
where it then fails at
if (is_windows()) {
installer <- normalizePath(installer)
status <- system2(installer, args)
Which can be recreated as:
installer <- "C:\\Users\\XXXX\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\Rtmpy08W9m\\Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe"
args <- c("/InstallationType=JustMe","/AddToPath=0","/RegisterPython=0","/NoRegistry=1","/S","/D=C:\\Users\\LAUREN~1\\AppData\\Local\\R-MINI~1")
# I added stdout = TRUE to show the actual error message and generated output
test <- system2(installer, args, stdout = TRUE)
Warning message:
In system2(installer, args, stdout = TRUE) :
running command '"C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmpy08W9m\Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe" /InstallationType=JustMe /AddToPath=0 /RegisterPython=0 /NoRegistry=1 /S /D=C:\Users\XXXX~1\AppData\Local\R-MINI~1'
had status 2
I checked furthermore the arguments for silent installation and they seem to be OK
mini conda silent installation url
So it looks like the error lies at miniconda. I tried looking them up at github. But I could not find a page which dedicated to Miniconda.
If I run the same command from cmd without arguments the non silent installer is shown...
If I run it with system2 from rstudio the terminal says it is running (shows stop sign on top right)
Any ideas?
