issue installing latest version of quanteda

RStudio Cloud
#1

I started a new project (https://rstudio.cloud/project/1430544) and can't seem to be able to install the quanteda package. The installation fails while compiling. I have the package running on another project, but a new version came out just yesterday and won't install. I tried installing the previous version install_version("quanteda", version = "2.0.1", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org") but it doesn't seem to work.

Any thoughts on why this might be happening?

Thanks!

This happens from time to time when a new package version is out, the reason is that the package requires more than 1GB of memory to compile (the current RStudio Cloud memory limit), the way RStudio Cloud addresses this issue is by caching precompiled binaries of the packages but it could take some time for the cache to update to the current package version.

Oh, thanks! Do you know if there's any way I can install the cached version?

I am considering using RStudio Cloud for teaching a class, but I need Quanteda, and I keep getting the same error:

Any idea when this will be solved?

You can install the cached version using this repo

remotes::install_version("quanteda", version = "2.0.1", repos = 'https://demo.rstudiopm.com/cran/__linux__/xenial/latest')

Please use packagemanager.rstudio.com instead of demo.
