herpesdrg installation

[raquelriyuzo]

Hi, I'm trying to install the tool, but I haven't been successful.
I tried several ways... Rstudio, Docker and directly from the terminal. I had the following errors:

Rstudio
command:
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ojcharles/herpesdrg")

Error: Never finishes loading

Docker
Error:
ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/bash --login -c conda upgrade conda && conda config --add channels r --add channels bioconda --add channels conda-forge && conda create --name herpesdrg r-base bioconductor-biocinstaller && echo "source activate herpesdrg" > ~/.bashrc" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1

and

RUN conda install r-devtools python=3.8 pip snp-sites=2.5.1 mafft=7.520 &&
R -e "Sys.setenv(TAR = '/bin/tar'); library('devtools'); devtools::install_github('ojcharles/herpesdrg')" &&
pip install pandas==2.0.3 openpyxl==3.1.2

Error: Never finishes loading

Terminal
Error:

install.packages("devtools")
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
Error in contrib.url(repos, "source") :
trying to use CRAN without setting a mirror

Do you know what could be happening?
Thank you very much!

Hi there.
This is a little odd, it looks most likely you are having issues contacting CRAN , which is why you have issues in all three approaches and cannot install devtools.

I would focus on getting that to work initially before worring about herpesdrg.

• First I'd check if any peers are having a similar issue in your company / lab . Looks like an IT issue.
• You can also try posit cloud for free and test code out there to confirm if its your side, or this repo's issue. https://posit.cloud/plans
• Other things to try - defining the repo like install.packages('devtools',dependencies=TRUE, repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')

Good luck!
