Install readr library package for R

Hi everyone,

I am trying to run a workflow in Alteryx that is making use of the R tool and also references the library package: readr. However the readr package did not get installed when I installed the R Predictive tools with Alteryx.

I have tried running the Alteryx workflow that installs the different R packages, but this did not fix the issue.

Can anyone help me install the readr library package for the R tool in Alteryx?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @mkeiffer ,

In addition to my post to another thread below;

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Use-of-Large-CSV-Files-with-Data-Input-Tool/m-p/1120380#M278188

If you are familiar with R command line interface, you may want to;

run R.exe under "C:\Program Files\Alteryx\R-x.x.x\bin", and

try to install readr according to https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/readr/readme/README.html.

As it depends on the environment of each user, please do it at your own risk. Good luck.

@Yoshiro_Fujimori I am intrigued by this solution with running and installing R. At this point, I have not installed R on my computer, just the R components that have been installed by Alteryx. So it sounds like my first approach would be installing R on my computer, outside of Alteryx, correct?

Thank you again for your help!

@Yoshiro_Fujimori This solution did the trick and I was able to successfully install the readr package for the R tool and I was successful at getting it to read my source data files. Thank you so much again for all of your great help!
