v3.1.0 missing CRAN package

[galalH]

The 3.0.0 release came with a CRAN package that made it super simple to install LightGBM. Can we have the same for the latest release as well?

@galalH Hi! Thanks a lot for using LightGBM and sharing your preferable way of installation with us!

We are working on this: #3484 (comment).

Like @StrikerRUS mentioned, we're trying right now to actually get this release onto CRAN so you can just install.packages("lightgbm").

But I can also add the CRAN artifact to the release manually. It's something that has to be done manually and the 3.1.0 release was only created last night (Central Standard Time, where I am).

I've just added it to https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM/releases/tag/v3.1.0.

You can install with the following R code that uses the {remotes} package

remotes::install_url(
    "https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM/releases/download/v3.1.0/lightgbm-3.1.0-r-cran.tar.gz"
)

Thanks for using LightGBM and the LightGBM R package!

If you have time, we'd welcome contributions to some of the open issues in the R package!
