Trouble with installGithub.r example
AkhilGNair opened this issue · 2 comments
I'm trying to run the installGithub.r example to install RcppCore/RcppEigen and it seems to be failing with unused argument (update = TRUE), which I'm finding particularly confusing, as update seems to be have changed to upgrade.
The Dockerfile I'm running is
FROM rocker/r-ver:3.4.1
RUN install2.r remotes
RUN installGithub.r RcppCore/RcppEigen
Without wanting to jump the gun, I thought it might be something down stream of rocker-org/rocker#227 - Is this actually where this issue should be?

This is a misunderstanding on your part, and related to why I prefer repositories.
It clearly falls over for lack of depends, so if you just did install.r RcppEigen to start from CRAN you would a) get a labelled release rather than a random git snapshot and b) all its depends.
I think there is a way to make git(hub) installations do depends but as I don't care that much about them (see previous paragraph) I never added that.
Makes sense, thanks.
