Miniconda3 fails to install rstudio

[Jesse Wang]

Hello,

When I want to install rstudio in Miniconda3 with "conda install rstudio", it always fails.

I get a error message as below.

How should I do to fix this error and install rstudio?

My version and OS:

Miniconda3 4.4.10

Windows 10 Pro 1709 16299.248

Thank you!

[Ariel Balter]

Just as a test, could you try installing it into it's on environment? Also, I'm assuming that you can install other things without error. Right?

conda create --name rstudioenv
source activate rstudioenv
conda install rstudio

 If that doesn't work, you could try

conda  create  --name  rstudioenv  rstudio

(what is the deal with the code highlighting remove spaces?)

Hi Ariel,

Thanks for your reply.

The solution does not work for me.

After googling, I find a workable solution as below.

==========================

Modify Miniconda3\Lib\site-packages\conda\common\compat.py

in "def ensure_text_type(value):" section

return value.decode('utf-8') -> return value.decode('utf-8','ignore')

return value.decode('utf-8') -> return value.decode(encoding,'ignore')

==========================

Now I have already installed R-studio.

Thank you!

 Try this

conda create rstudio

Glad it worked!

You might think about posting a bug on the conda github site. Perhaps there is something they need to fix, and your experience will help others.
