Hi,

Thanks for trying out my package!

Considering the ERROR Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection, it seems the problem is from your side. Could be network connection error etc.

You may find useful suggestion from the link below:
https://community.rstudio.com/t/unable-to-install-package-in-r-studio/15930

And from the warning message cannot open compressed file 'excess_pi_covid-master/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory', you may not be installing the correct package. It seem you are trying to install something from excess_pi_covid. You could check again and make sure you are installing LandSCENT from my repo.

A quick installation guide:

Open up R/RStudio
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ChenWeiyan/LandSCENT")

Best,
Weiyan
