Introduction
When someone starts with Machine Learning he usually starts to build some simple models as logistic regression, naive Bayes, linear regression etc. And those alone are already enough for most use cases, as their simplicity is productivity-friendly and comes up with adequate accuracy. However, in enterprise level, accuracy can be important for a lot of reasons. Gradient Boosting Machines are some algorithms which outperform the aforementioned methods and are not complex enough to use them. Of course, before we build the model with (e.g. tidymodels) we have to install them.
Error - Missing LightGBM install
Thus, on this article I gather all that information.
On my occassion, when I tried to install devtools had an error status. According to my error status I had to add packages libharfbuzz-dev and libfribidi-dev. After that, my devtools installation completed without errors.
