"Error : package 'bitops' required by 'RCurl' could not be found"

Hi,

I am trying to install your package, however when I get to the part where I need to run the following lines:

install_github("rga", "skardhamar")
    library(rga)

I get this error:

Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks.

Have you tried below?

install.packages(bitops)
devtools::install_github("skardhamar/rga")

[jimbob407]

When I try your code above, i get the following error:

install.packages(bitops)
Error in install.packages : object 'bitops' not found

It is very possible I have done something wrong as this is my first attempt at using R. I literally just downloaded the 'devtools-master' folder, and added the 'rga-master' to the same folder while over-writing any existing files. Was this the correct way to do this?

Sorry my mistake, try install.packages("bitops")

[jimbob407]

Worked :) Thank you!

@MarkEdmondson1234 -- I was getting that same error, but for a different package. I'm also an R newbie, trying to get a web scraper package to work just enough so I can export to a CSV, then to Python. Anyway, your answer helped a great deal, so thank you very much.
