Fail on remotes::install_github("business-science/modeltime.gluonts")

[jam1245]

I'm getting an error upon installing modeltime.gluonts --- the error is on RcppParallel -- is this a known issue or something related to my setup?

options.cpp:2:10: fatal error: RcppParallel.h: No such file or directory
#include <RcppParallel.h>

I'm not aware of this. Are you able to install RcppParallel using install.packages("RcppParallel")?

Just a quick inspection, I found this link to a thread on RStudio Community. https://community.rstudio.com/t/error-message-in-rstudio/10664/3

It suggests:

1. Try installing RcppParallel by itself (then retry modeltime.gluonts)
2. If on Windows, make sure you have Rtools installed.

Hi Matt - maybe i should have asked this on the slack channel and/or in your ts course questions, but I'm working on a sep machine with some restrictions so appreciate quick response here.

I need to try a few other things starting with a new env build. Are there any known issues running gluonts and supporting packages on the following R version and platform? I got an error that RcppParallel is not available for this version of R.

arch x86_64

Try this:

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("RcppCore/RcppParallel")
