How do I upgrade Microsoft R Open when its installed from the Microsoft Machine Learning Server on Ubuntu?

How do I upgrade Microsoft R Open on Linux?

The latest Microsoft Machine Learning Server 9.3.0, (Formally Microsoft R Server) automatically installs MRO however it hasn't been kept as up-to-date as MRO has. Currently it installs Microsoft R Open 3.4.3.

MMLS is installed to: /opt/microsoft/mlserver/9.3.0

R is installed to: /opt/microsoft/mlserver/9.3.0/runtime/R

Could I just delete the R folder above and replace it with the latest R version?

$ whereis R

R: /usr/bin/R /usr/local/lib/R

Solution

  • No. The current version of MRO (MRO 3.5.1) is not compatible with Machine Learning Server 9.3.0--the R internals have changed, and so the various MLS R packages built under 3.4.3 will not work with R 3.5.1.
