[jira] [Comment Edited] (ARROW-17224) [R][Doc] minor error in Linux installation documentation ('conda' option) for R on CRAN
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17224?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17573108#comment-17573108 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------
Jacob, I concur. And doing conda -y update conda base (or similar) beforehand (as suggested quite often on StackOverflow) doesn't help (and also takes a long time).
The first suggestion for installing r-arrow on Linux from the docs–i.e., upgrading directly from Rstudio (now Posit) is the fastest and works. I just don't hope the link to the binaries is brittle or unreliable (you might want to check that too).
I've also gotten it to work with the 'nightly' version hosted on Apache. The compilation is much slower than the RStudio instructions (again, now Posit) approach and also needs (as the doc's say) the libcurl4-openssl-dev package. However, my experience is that some (non-sudo) users can't install that package on their distro.
Best,

> Key: ARROW-17224
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17224
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation, R
> Affects Versions: 8.0.1
> Environment: Ubuntu 20.04
> Reporter: Wayne Smith
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 8.0.2
>
> Original Estimate: 2h
> Remaining Estimate: 2h
>
> The documentation for the Linux installation for the r-arrow binary for R is at:
> https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/arrow/vignettes/install.html
> The documentation indicates that the 'conda' installation syntax should be:
> {{}}
> {code:java}
> conda install -c conda-forge --strict-channel-priority r-arrow{code}
> {{}}
> I can't get that to work. What works for me is:
> {code:java}
> conda config --set channel_priority strict
> conda install -c conda-forge r-arrow{code}
> I'm wondering if the syntax presented in the documentation is either deprecated or incorrect.
