In trying to install package "RevoScaleR", I get the following error. I have tried installing this package with various versions of R but get the same error every time. Does anyone have any idea why?

install.packages("RevoScaleR")

Warning in install.packages : package ‘RevoScaleR’ is not available (for R version 3.1.2)

Any help is appreciated.

Just to update this post,to install the RevoScaleR package you need to install Microsoft R client, see here for details:

R Client includes the ScaleR (rx[…]) functions in the RevoScaleR package. I don't believe this package is open source so isn't available on cran, install.packages() therefore won't work.
