mjmg opened a new issue #8869: Outdated documentation for installing R packages
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/8869
 
 
   ## Description
   For mxnet 12.1 the documentation for installing R packages seems to be outdated.
   Currently these are the commands:
   ```
   make rpkg
   R CMD INSTALL mxnet_current_r.tar.gz
   ```
   Upon checking the Makefile, using the command 
   ```
   make rpkg
   ```
   seems to include installation of the R package from the R-package subdirectoy directly and no mxnet_current_r.tar.gz is generated.
   
   ## Error Message:
   ```
   Warning: invalid package 'mxnet_current_r.tar.gz'
   Error: ERROR: no packages specified
   ```
   
   ## Steps to reproduce
   ```
   $ make rpkg
   ....
   $ R CMD INSTALL mxnet_current_r.tar.gz
   ```
