Unable to install R Bindings about r-bridge-install

[scw]

Hello @soggypickle, sorry to hear the bridge isn't working for you. Could you run the "R Installation Details" script that's included in the toolbox and post it's output? We check the registry for the install location of R, but based on the above it doesn't look like that detection is succeeding.

Thanks, Shaun

This is the message I get after running "r Installation Details"

@soggypickle that looks like the output of the "Update Bindings" script — could you try the "R Installation Details" once more? On my machine, this is what it's output looks like:

Sorry about that! I totally ran the wrong tool!

Great, thanks. Interesting, it looks like your installation resides on a network, which from what I've read isn't directly supported by R. If you open R, then type:

R.home()

What does it display as the result?

If you'd like to get going now, and rather not wait for us to resolve the install issue when working on a network drive, you can install the package manually within R. To do so, first download the package from GitHub, then follow the steps in this short screen cast to install from directly within R.

[soggypickle]

R.home() give the result

"//state.sd.local/Home/GF/GFPR13632/Documents/R/R-3.3.1"

Hello @soggypickle,

I can confirm that R does let you install and mostly seems to work fine from a network drive installation. The R Windows FAQ states otherwise, but it looks to be wrong:

R FAQ, §2.2:

Installing to a network share (a filepath starting with \machine...) is not supported: such paths will need to mapped to a network drive.

That said, there are issues such as the existing way that we install the package. I've updated the package with an alternate technique for network-based installations, could you download the latest version of the toolbox and try again?

Cheers, Shaun

I did and it has installed successfully. However, when i open R and then library(argisbinding), I am prompted to to run arc.check_product(). I run this command and the i receive this error:

Error: Could not bind to a valid ArcGIS Pro installation.

I have an advance ArcGIS Desktop Licence. How can I get R to recognize my licence?

Great! Installation is the hard part. To connect to ArcGIS Desktop, run the R shortcut labeled "R i386 3.3.1". ArcGIS Desktop is a 32-bit application, so it has to talk to the 32-bit version of R.

@soggypickle, I think we've resolved the technical problem with the bridge, so closing this issue. Feel free to reopen it, or open a new one if you're having problems still.

I am new at GitHub so hello to everyone!
I am sorry to reopen this issue but I want to try the ArcGIS R bridge but I can't install R Bindings.
