[abotzki]

Hi the installation of the dyno package fails at the point where dynwrap is called again - @devel

Thanks for trying out dyno! Discussing with @zouter , this seems related to r-lib/remotes#225. This is a bug from remotes that probably occurs because one package requires dynwrap@master, while another package requires dynwrap@devel. I'm changing the depending packages so that they only require dynwrap@master, since the @devel dependency was included by mistake. I'll keep you posted!

[zouter]

This should now be fixed with dynverse/dynguidelines#49 . @abotzki, can you confirm? Thanks!

[abotzki]

Hmm I just tried from scratch again: the installation stops immediately.

> devtools::install_github('dynverse/dyno')
Error: HTTP error 403.
  API rate limit exceeded for 35.241.173.168. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)

  Rate limit remaining: 0/60
  Rate limit reset at: 2018-12-18 14:56:52 UTC

  To increase your GitHub API rate limit
  - Use `usethis::browse_github_pat()` to create a Personal Access Token.
  - Use `usethis::edit_r_environ()` and add the token as `GITHUB_PAT`.

executing usethis::browse_github_pat() does not create a token, so automated installation remains difficult.

[rcannood]

This error is because your IP address has been making too many github api requests.

A good solution would be to create a PAT and add a GITHUB_PAT=<xx_your_pat_here_xx> entry to your ~/.Renviron file (which you can access in Rstudio with usethis::edit_r_environ()).

[abotzki]

Yes, I followed the suggestion and this works when I do it manually. I will see whether I can fix this by using an ansible script. It still looks like a workaround but I also understand that the issue with the r-lib remotes is beyond your control.

[sjkoelle]

I am still getting this error even when using the authentication token. The installation seems to have failed in the middle

Some dynverse packages appear to have installed successfully, but I get the rate limit error if I try to restart.

[rcannood]

Your issue is definitely separate from that Alexander, so please create a separate github issue. I also don't have enough information to know what your problem is. Do you have a GITHUB_PAT defined somewhere? Could you provide the full log?

[sjkoelle]

got it resolved. thanks.
