Hello,

Thanks for reaching out to us. Unfortunately, this is not supported in Azure Machine Learning studio (classic), to install packages that are not supported as part of default Azure ML studio you can upload them as zip. Here is an example of how to upload various R packages as a zip file dataset and installed them using install.packages() and library() to load them in the execute R script.

You need to connect the .zip file dataset as script file bundle input.

Then in your execute R script install and load them.

install.packages("src/XML_3.98-1.19.zip",lib=".",repos=NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/survival_2.44-1.1.zip",lib=".",repos=NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/parallelMap_1.3.zip",lib=".",repos=NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/data.table_1.12.2.zip",lib=".",repos=NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/checkmate_1.9.1.zip",lib=".",repos=NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/stringi_1.4.3.zip",lib=".",repos=NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/stats19_0.2.1.zip",lib=".",repos=NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/ggplot2_3.1.1.zip",lib=".",repos=NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/backports_1.1.3.zip",lib=".",repos=NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/BBmisc_1.11.zip",lib=".",repos=NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/ParamHelpers_1.12.zip",lib=".",repos=NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/mlr_2.13.zip",lib=".",repos=NULL, verbose = TRUE)

library(XML,lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)
library(survival,lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)
library(parallelMap,lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)
library(data.table,lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)
library(checkmate,lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)
library(stringi,lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)
library(stats19,lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)
library(ggplot2,lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)
library(backports,lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)
library(BBmisc,lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)
library(ParamHelpers,lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)
library(mlr,lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)

Your Zip file should be a zip of zips of all these packages as seen below.

Please note you cannot use plain R script as input to Script Bundle input port of Execute R script module.
