Trouble installing dataverse R package #11
Comments
I think this is an installer problem (i.e., an issue in the ghit package that I'm working on. Temporary fix is either: devtools::install_github("IQSS/dataverse-client-r")
# or
ghit::install_github("IQSS/dataverse-client-r", build_vignettes = FALSE) Let me know if that doesn't work, @monogan. Update: ghit v0.2.15 (en route to CRAN) fixes this. |
Hi Thomas @leeper. Unforutnately, that's still not working. I tried each, and you can see the error messages below afterwards. Any other ideas? Could it be something going on with my computer? I can't use my regular workspace right now, as my MacBook Air's OS is too out of date to update R (or even to update the OS), so I'm stuck with a Windows machine that's provided at my flat. More than likely it's 100% on my end. Thank you for all of your help.

What version of R do you have? |
@leeper I've got R 3.3.2. I tried this on both 32 and 64 bit. |
@monogan I've never seen this before, so I'm firing up the bat signal: https://twitter.com/thosjleeper/status/823836088712228864 |
@leeper Thank you. This is so strange; I have no idea what's going on. My apologies for seeming to be a "problem magnet" on this one. |
@monogan No problem. Consensus seems to be that you should uninstall and reinstall R, as something seems to be fairly fundamentally broken. |
@leeper @pdurbin @djbrooke @mheppler I am happy to report that I was now able to get @leeper 's code to work well, as Thomas posted here (IQSS/dataverse#2700 (comment)). In case the backstory is interesting: Following Thomas & company's advice, I tried reinstalling R, at which point I learned that I only had partial administrative control over this computer. Apparently that wasn't sufficient for installing Thomas's "dataverse" package. With full administrative control, I was finally able to get it going, once I got all of the dependencies loaded. So, yes, @leeper 's code works, and nothing has changed with the switch to new Dataverse. Thank you for your patience with me and for all of your assistance. |
@monogan Great to hear! |
Hi! At IQSS/dataverse#2700 (comment) @monogan reported some trouble getting the dataverse package installed on Windows and I was thinking that the readme of this repo would explain the best way to get support but it's non-obvious to me. Can this be clarified in the readme? Thanks!
p.s. If @monogan could get some assistance that would be great as well!
