qmjdata is not available

[johnpburkett]

In RStudio, running under Ubuntu, I entered the commands:
library(devtools)
install_github("anttsou/qmj")

The response to the latter command was:
ERROR: dependency ‘qmjdata’ is not available for package ‘qmj’
Installation failed: Command failed (1)

What is the correct procedure for installing qmj?

Hi John,

Sorry about the issue! We have not updated the package in quite awhile, so that is likely where the issue is coming from. We are having a meeting this week to discuss the future of this package. If we decide to keep maintaining it, then we will provide a solution as soon as possible. If not, then I can still take a look to see if I can reproduce the problem and get back to you with a quick fix. Thank you for your interest!

Thank you for your prompt reply. I'll look forward to learning about the outcome of your meeting. Best regards, John

Hi, I know it has been a while since this issue was started but I just ran into the same issue. Is the package outdated? Or could you perhaps give any clues for a quick fix?

Kind regards,
Joost

So it turns out this is actually relatively easy to workaround.

Running this command directly seems to bypass the fact that the package(s) themselves are pretty out-of-date.
install_github("anttsou/qmjdata")

As a consequence, I'm going to close this issue for now, but if this isn't successful, feel free to reopen this!
