Can't install bigrf package


I'm having some extremely frustrating difficulty installing the bigrf R package.

I have tried the following:

install.packages('bigrf',repo='https://github.com/aloysius-lim/bigrf.git',type='source')

^^with dev mode on

install_github("aloysius-lim","bigrf")

install.packages("bigrf",source=true)

These have all been tried on R build 2.14 (which bigrf was built on), 2.15, 3.0.2 and 3.1.1 I am getting a not available for build x' every time. Is bigrf defunct? I have seen a couple of posts here on SO which have used various builds of R requesting help with bigrf. the solutions IO have tried came from these threads :/


Solution

  • Package ‘bigrf’ was removed from the CRAN repository.

    Formerly available versions can be obtained from the archive.

    Archived on 2015-11-21 as check problems were not corrected despite reminders from CRAN people that's what the note i get from the https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bigrf/index.html
