smwrBase not available for R version 4.0.1

[omstoken]

I ran into this error today when trying to install the smwr packages from github:

Error: Failed to install 'smwrGraphs' from GitHub:
(converted from warning) package ‘smwrBase’ is not available (for R version 4.0.1)

Will I have to install an older version of R to run the smwr packages?

How are you doing this installation? I ran this:

remotes::install_github("USGS-R/smwrBase")
Downloading GitHub repo USGS-R/smwrBase@master
These packages have more recent versions available.
It is recommended to update all of them.
Which would you like to update?

1: All                           
2: CRAN packages only            
3: None                          
4: Rcpp (1.0.4.6 -> 1.0.5) [CRAN]

Enter one or more numbers, or an empty line to skip updates:
3

and it worked. I typically choose "3" (none), and update my packages with the "Update All" button in RStudio for CRAN packages. It might complain about not having smwrData first. The instructions on the README are:

remotes::install_github("USGS-R/smwrData")
remotes::install_github("USGS-R/smwrBase")

I had smwrData installed. It seemed the outdated Rcpp was the issue. I was able to install both smwrBase and smwrGraphs after updating that package and selecting option 3 when prompted to update. Thanks for you help and quick response!
