A dependency is a broad software engineering term used to refer when software relies on other software in order to be functional. For R package dependencies, the installation of the synapser
package will take care of installing other R packages that synapser
depends on, using dependencies specified in the DESCRIPTION file. However, lower level system dependencies are not automatically installed.
Most Windows and Mac machines have the required system dependencies. Linux machines, including most Amazon Web Services EC2 machines, will need to be configured before installing synapser
.
To install these system dependencies on Ubuntu machines:
apt-get update -y apt-get install -y dpkg-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev apt-get install -y curl libcurl4-openssl-dev
Another option is to use the provided Dockerfile.
For more information on installing synapser
with Docker, please see our Docker vignettes.
To install these system dependencies on Redhat machines:
yum update -y yum install -y openssl-devel curl-devel libffi-devel zlib-devel yum install -y R
