Thanks for putting this together, would like to use it. Currently having installation issues.

Any suggestions?

Oh man. I am but a humble Mac user, so I don't know what's going on here. Have you used install_github() successfully on other packages? might also be worth posting your sessionInfo().

I'll label it as help wanted and maybe a fellow Windows user/general CS person can swoop in and tell you what's going on.

Thanks I got it setup last night on my Mac no problem. Here's my sessionInfo()

It looks to me like it is failing because you have a space in the name of one of your directories (a name that starts with 'My' and the path parser isn't able to handle that.

See for example r-lib/devtools#73

From this suggestion, it also looks like you could set your R_LIBS_USER to somewhere that doesn't have a space in the PATH and then it should work.

where they recommend that

The only solution I'm aware of is to uninstall R and reinstall it to C:\R-XXX\ not C:\Program Files\R-XXX.
