Failed to install 'catboost' from GitHub

[HonoratoDaniel]

Hi guys,

I'm not so experienced about R language and need your help to install catboost package. I've already tried by build from source (Adrain's code to Install package dependecies and install RemixAutoML) and released version in catboost website too, both of them didn't work.

The message of error to run read.me code (https://github.com/AdrianAntico/RemixAutoML) is:

Thanks a lot!

@HonoratoDaniel Have your read through this issue on my page? AdrianAntico/AutoQuant#19
If you want, you can set up a zoom session and I can watch your screen as you make the installation attempts. It might be easier for me to troubleshoot that way. Let me know

[HonoratoDaniel]

[AdrianAntico]

Sometime I have the same problem with catboost installation. So I try to connect to another network without firewall and (or) with stable connection (large band-wide), then the installation works like charm.
By the way, you can try to install the offline version.
You can try.
