@Mariodocumentologia Hello, sorry it took so long to respond. I had forgotten a few steps in my instructions - please try this slightly modified set of instructions: https://csafe-isu.github.io/handwriter/howto. In this case, I forgot to include install.packages("devtools") in the instructions. Let me know if there are any more issues and I'll be quicker to respond!

The development installation instructions are incomplete

1. Install libgit2
2. Then in R

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("CSAFE-ISU/handwriter")

Not installing libgit2 throws an error

You must install libgit2, or else there is an error.

----------------------------- ANTICONF -------------------------------
Configuration failed to find libgit2 library. Try installing:
 * brew: libgit2 (MacOS)
 * deb: libgit2-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
 * rpm: libgit2-devel (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL)
If libgit2 is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a libgit2.pc file. If pkg-config
is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'
