    Description

    The Install R Packages app provides an easy to use interface for installing R packages to be used with Alteryx. Packages are installed in the user's personal R library folder, which is a folder that R searches for by default to find available R packages.

    @CloonanThat error message looks like an indicator that you do not have Predictive Tools installed for this Designer version. The Predictive RTools installer can be found under Alteryx Designer at downloads.alteryx.com

    Do I need to be logged in as an Admin to install these tools?

    This app won't work for every package because it draws from a CRAN that is continually updated by many packages authors (over 18,000 packages), whereas Predictive Tools is not continually updated. The best way for Alteryx to solve this issue is to host your own CRAN - one that is not updated by regular package authors. In other words, provide a snapshot of ALL R packages that were available at the time Alteryx developed Predictive Tools. Then, in this app, change the repo argument in install.packages() to the CRAN hosted by Alteryx. Check out my idea on the subject. Until then, installing new R packages with Alteryx is nothing more than a cause for a bug report.

    What version of R is your Alteryx running? If you don't know, place an empty R tool into a workflow and run. The first message output from the tool will give you the R version. You may have to use a different version of R or find an older version of pdftools that works with your current R.
