How to install the rgdal R package

> install.packages("rgdal")

• installing source package ‘rgdal’ ... configure: error: gdal-config not found or not executable.

The packages libgdal-dev and libproj-dev are required:

sudo apt-get install gdal-bin proj-bin libgdal-dev libproj-dev

Just bumping this in case @statgeek or anyone else managed to solve the problem when there's no sudo access?

Try this SO page https://askubuntu.com/questions/193695/installing-packages-into-local-directory it helped me.

Many thanks. It worked

Many thanks, that fixed it!

Hi, I used

> install.packages("rgdal", repos="https://cloud.r-project.org/")

worked like a charm

P.S.
the normal install gave (I had also tried another CRAN repo):

in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :
download from 'https://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/CRAN/bin/macosx/contrib/4.1/rgdal_1.5-28.tgz' failed
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :

2: In download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :

Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available = available, :
download of package ‘rgdal’ failed

Thanks :)

Hello
I couldn't install RGDAL. Please help.

install.packages("rgdal", type = "source")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/Hossein/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.3’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘rgdal’ is not available for this version of R

A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
see the ideas at
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages

Firstly, make sure you're using the correct version of R compatible with the package. If you're using the latest version of R, it's possible that rgdal has not yet been updated to be compatible with it. Em qui., 8 de fev. de 2024 às 04:35, Hossein Yousefi < ***@***.***> escreveu:
