  • am following instructions from https://irkernel.github.io/installation/ so i can use R with jupyter notebook.

  • i already have jupyter and R installed, and they work fine.

  • so when it comes to installing the packages with:

install.packages(c('repr', 'IRdisplay', 'evaluate', 'crayon', 'pbdZMQ', 'devtools', 'uuid', 'digest'))

i get this message:

In R CMD INSTALL * installing source package 'repr' ... ** package 'repr' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Error in .read_description(dfile) : file 'C:/Users/????/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpCI01gk/R.INSTALL6e03e7f2fb2/repr/DESCRIPTION' does not exist ERROR: installing package DESCRIPTION failed for package 'repr' * removing 'C:/Program Files/R/R-3.5.1/library/repr'

Where are you running the install.packages command? If you are running that in Jupyter Notebook it will fail. Make sure that you don't do this in your RStudio console, but in a regular R terminal. See the blog post Jupyter And R Markdown: Notebooks With R from DataCamp.
