[conda] 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!

Glad it worked!

Try this
conda create rstudio

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.
