Cannot install package
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Hi, I tried to install your package as per your instructions:
> devtools::install_github("benmarwick/wordcountaddin", type = "source", dependencies = TRUE)
Installation failed: Failure when receiving data from the peer
What's happening? This is my session:_info():

I can, however, download your repository to a local folder on my pc. If I do that, how can I install the package then? Thanks a lot
Hi Andrea,
I think you might have had a temporary problem with your internet connection. The error msg you report "Installation failed: Failure when receiving data from the peer" is one that relates to internet connectivity. Perhaps it's just within RStudio, or perhaps just a brief moment for your whole computer.
Perhaps if you try to run devtools::install_github("benmarwick/wordcountaddin", type = "source", dependencies = TRUE) now, or from a different internet connection you will not have this problem.
You could also try to install some other pkgs in RStudio to see if RStudio has a good connection to the internet. Or if it's just this one.
Nevermind, I tried today and it works! Mysteries of the Internet!!! I couldn't understand why, from the same connection, CRAN packages would install, but not this one...however today both CRAN and install_github work. I don't know why, but it's great anyway 👍
