If you are experiencing this error when running ``lightgbm``, you may be facing the same issue reported in `#2715 <https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM/issues/2715>`_ and later in `#2989 <https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM/pull/2989#issuecomment-614374151>`_. We have seen that in some situations, using ``data.table`` 1.11.x results in this error. To get around this, you can upgrade your version of ``data.table`` to at least version 1.12.0.

4. package ‘Matrix’ is not available

In April 2024, ``Matrix==1.7-0`` was published to CRAN.
That version had a floor of ``R (>=4.4.0)``.
``{Matrix}`` is a hard runtime dependency of ``{lightgbm}``, so on any version of R older than ``4.4.0``, running ``install.packages("lightgbm")`` results in something like the following.

.. code-block:: text

package ‘Matrix’ is not available for this version of R

To fix that without upgrading to R 4.4.0 or greater, manually install an older version of ``{Matrix}``.

.. code-block:: R

install.packages('https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Matrix/Matrix_1.6-5.tar.gz', repos = NULL)
