Error launching code env for R on a system with no internet access
Hi,

I am working on a sytem with no internet access, Integrated R and DSS using: https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/installation/r.html#case-2-if-your-dss-server-does-not-have-internet-access



Error while launching code-env for R:

specifying the directory path in CRAN mirror URL: file:///opt/dss/R-packages/R-packages/

This is the path on the local system where all the packages are placed.

Error message:

Could you please point me to the correct direction?

Hi,

Your folder needs to be a CRAN mirror. It cannot "just" be a repository of downloaded packages. A CRAN mirror additionally has some "listing" files, notably this src/contrib/PACKAGES

At the moment, we don't have a builtin procedure to create your own CRAN mirror, but this should be a fairly standard procedure for which you can find some documentation.

Thanks. I am not an expert in R, so trying to look up ways to create a CRAN mirror (using miniCRAN), however I am unable to find a method to give entire folder of packages as a path instead of individual packages. Will update this post when I'm able to resolve this.
