R Installing rCharts on R 3.4.2 x64

I hope my way helps.

install.packages("devtools")install.packages("Rcpp")library(devtools)library(Rcpp)install_github('ramnathv/rCharts', force= TRUE)

I have tested this method on a clean install of R 3.4.2 x64.

The first answer did not work for me. But try this one:

Download the package from https://github.com/ramnathv/rCharts as zip file and expand it to

"C:\rchartsdownload"

Then, install the following packages:

install.packages("devtools")install.packages("Rcpp")install.packages("RCurl")install.packages("RJSONIO")library(devtools)library(Rcpp)library(RCurl)library(RJSONIO)

and finally:

install.packages("C:/rchartsdownload", repos = NULL, type="source")
