<p>Oracle has just released <a target="_blank" href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/bigdata-appliance/oracle-bigdatalite-2104726.html">version 4.5.0</a> of the Big Data Lite VM which, when it comes to R, still suffers from the issues <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nodalpoint.com/oracle-big-data-lite-vm-4-4-0-a-test-drive/">we had pinpointed</a> for the previous version 4.4.0 (and then some).</p>
<p>The first attempt to install the additional packages fails with a ‘cannot open URL’ error:</p>

<p>Here is what happens if we comment out the proxy setting (line 3 above) and rerun the script; the first 5 packages are successfully installed, but when we reach <code>doParallel</code> (line 16), we get an error for missing dependencies:</p>

ERROR: dependencies ‘foreach’, ‘iterators’ are not available for package ‘doParallel’

</pre>
<p>Why the missing dependencies? Well, as we have stressed (apparently not strongly enough) in the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nodalpoint.com/oracle-big-data-lite-vm-4-4-0-a-test-drive/">recent past</a>, the combination of <code>repos=NULL,dependencies=TRUE</code> arguments, as it happens here, is <strong>invalid</strong>, as clearly indicated in the <a target="_blank" href="https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/install.packages.html">documentation</a>:</p>
<pre>
dependencies 	logical indicating whether to also install uninstalled packages which 
                these packages depend on/link to/import/suggest (and so on recursively). 
                Not used if repos = NULL.
</pre>
<p>And of course, the fact that both dependencies of <code>doParallel</code> are indeed queued for installation further down (lines 17 &amp; 19) does not change the issue that <code>doParallel</code> will not be installed.</p>
<p>Out of the 50 requested additional packages, 17 cannot be installed; most of them fail due to missing dependencies, as above, but <code>arulesViz</code> fails because there is a typo in the file name. At the end of the day, out of the 3 “main” packages (as mentioned in the comments of the installation script) <code>arules</code>, <code>arulesViz</code>, and <code>forecast</code>, only <code>arules</code> will be available (which comes preinstalled, albeit in an old version).</p>
<p>We have argued <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nodalpoint.com/oracle-big-data-lite-vm-4-4-0-a-test-drive/">in the past</a> why installing R packages in such a way makes little sense; we will not repeat the arguments here.

<p>See the last part of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nodalpoint.com/oracle-big-data-lite-vm-4-4-0-a-test-drive/">this post</a> for explanation of the (minor) warnings.</p>
<p>A quick inspection shows that almost all of the packages in our list have been successfully installed, with two exceptions: <code>RcppArmadillo</code>, due to incompatibility with the existing <code>g++</code> compiler, and <code>forecast</code>, which depends on <code>RcppArmadillo</code>. We can easily amend this by downloading a previous version of the former – just append the following lines in the above R script:</p>
