I am trying to install SparkR in my local machine using the following command, in RStudio

> library(devtools)

> install_github("amplab-extras/SparkR-pkg", subdir="pkg")

After running above written command, it starts downloading Rtools and installation happens. And then got the following error

Error: Could not find build tools necessary to build SparkR

I have run the above command again, but same error occur.

Please help me out.

SparkR is now a part of Apache Spark. You can download it from
http://spark.apache.org/downloads.html (any version > 1.4.0)

Thanks

Not sure I understand. How do I access the SparkR library in R - using lib.loc in the call to library()?
