Hi Everyone,
I have been struggling a bit to install «FactoMineR» and «factoextra» R packages in Designer so I thought I could explain how I achieved it and save some time for others.
First, I had tried the following methods:
1/ Using the "Install R Packages" app => unsuccessful 😥
2/ Running the "install.packages("FactoMineR")" directly in an R tool in Designer => no more luck! 😓
I succeeded by opening the Designer R console located in Windows at:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Alteryx\R-4.0.5\bin\
and typing (again):
install.packages("FactoMineR")
At this moment, I was invited to select the mirroring source (which was probably not working when running the same command from Alteryx; I choose Paris, so romantic!) and the installation went smoothly from here.
After, when using the R tool in Designer, the
commands were successful and I was able to create some nice PCA-colored charts!
Hope this might help some of you!
