Hello and thank you for reporting.
I cannot replicate the issue and the command seems to work fine on Windows. Are you using Mac or something else? Also, can you provide the R version you are running?
I'd suggest to try the following in the meanwhile:

• shut down Rstudio and restart
• make sure you have a working internet connection
• try again remotes::install_github("covid19datahub/COVID19")
• if not, try the following:

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("covid19datahub/COVID19")

Sir currently I'm using R version 1.2.1335.....
Okay sir I'm following what u r mentioned step

[eguidotti]

That's the Rstudio version I guess. Your R version should be >= 3.5.0

Create a new ds_* file, named with the domain of the data source: eg ds_domain_com.
not getting this step

Ok thank you for the feedback, I slightly changed the tutorial. Is it more clear now?

Seems like it's no longer related to the package. Closing the issue
