"Error: package or namespace load failed for 'Rmagic'

[tuoliver]

I receive the following after trying to utilize Rmagic in any way after installing miniconda/python3 and going through all steps:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘Rmagic’:
.onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'Rmagic', details:
call: python_config(python_version, required_module, python_versions)
error: Error 1 occurred running /usr/bin/python3
In addition: Warning message:

I encountered the same problem yesterday, not sure if this helps but did you install magic-impute as a python package?

Per README:

To use MAGIC, you will need to install both the R and Python packages.

Try running pip install magic-impute then try R -e 'install.packages("Rmagic", repos="https://cloud.r-project.org/")' and it should fix the problem.

I encountered the same error message when I was trying to install Rmagic on a slurm cluster using install.packages("Rmagic", repos="https://cloud.r-project.org/"). Granted this might be a hidden issue since when I tried installing Rmagic in R 4.0.2 in my local Mac, it worked fine (I did not get any error during installation in R despite the fact I don't have magic-impute on Mac).

At first I did not even realize to check the manual, I just assume Rmagic worked like any other packages (e.g. ggplot2), where I just install.packages it and it would work (and it did, on my local Mac). But apparently (at least on a Linux based server), magic-impute needs to be installed first before running install.packages("Rmagic") in R.

There is a solution for installation here #211
