Building Zeppelin with R

[zeigerpuppy]

I was wondering about the best way to build Zeppelin with R.
I believe that your code has now been merged (I hope so!).
Does that mean, I can use the main distribution from https://github.com/apache/incubator-zeppelin
and build using the following?

mvn package install -DskipTests

I tried that but the build did not compile the Zeppelin-R from what I can see

I'm putting together some instructions for building from a new install and would be happy to contribute docs. I usually use Debian but am building on Ubuntu 14.04 as it seems better supported for Zeppelin.

I'm also interested in porting to sandstorm.

That's exactly it but also add -Pr to your build line to build the R components.

mvn package install -DskipTests -Pr

If you want to work on the docs for Zeppelin I know there's a need for that people would appreciate it. Thanks!

(I'm not familiar with sandstorm I'll check it out.)

Perfect, I'll give it a go and then add it to a build log and tutorial.

Thanks for the help.
ps. here's a good place to start with sandstorm: https://docs.sandstorm.io/en/latest/overview/

Hi, great to see the code has been merged ! Thanks a lot for your work !

I'm currently trying it on an Amazon EMR cluster. Building and installing Zepellin went smoothly. I installed the R dependencies (devtools, IRkernel, htmltools, base64enc, evaluate) and built with mvn package install -DskipTests

However I'm having some issue while going through the R tutorial:

• the HMT output looks a bit weird (and table / image output are not being displayed):
  
• sparkR is not found

Any idea what step I could have missed ? is there any Zepellin configuration file I should edit for the R interpreter to find sparkR ?

The R session info is:

That tutorial doesn't work. I've submitted a PR to fix it, but haven't had a chance to work on that PR in a few weeks: apache#841

[zeigerpuppy]

just got it all installed, working well once I got it behind a nginx proxy properly!
Now to clean up the build information.
Where would you prefer I post the build guide?
