Dewey Dunnington resolved ARROW-17662. -------------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Issue resolved by pull request 14086 https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/14086 > [R] Facilitate offline installation from binaries > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-17662 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17662 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: R > Environment: linux > Reporter: Pierre Gramme > Assignee: Pierre Gramme > Priority: Major > Labels: R, install, pull-request-available > Fix For: 11.0.0 > > Time Spent: 2.5h > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > *Use case:* I'm trying to install arrow's R package on a Linux (RHEL) server > without internet access. The server only has access to CRAN and a few other > repo's via a mirror on intranet (Artifactory instance). In particular, no > access to public RStudio Package Manager or to apache.jfrog.io or github. > Currently (v9.0.0), installation script does not really foresee the > possibility to install from binaries in such a case. By default it will build > from source without any external dependencies, which is slow and less > feature-rich. > *Suggestion:* if the user has the possibility to manually download the right > zipfile for libarrow, he can set the (new) environment variable > `ARROW_DOWNLOADED_BINARIES` to the local path, and the installation script > will use that pre-downloaded file. > In addition, in case of failed download, the URL will be printed. With this > extra info, it will be easier for the user to identify the right URL for > libarrow zipfile and then download it manually. > > I just proposed a PR... -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
