Project Robyn

I ran remotes::install_github("facebookexperimental/Robyn/R"), but got the error message:

Downloading GitHub repo facebookexperimental/Robyn@HEAD
Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = method, quiet = quiet,  : 
  download from 'https://api.github.com/repos/facebookexperimental/Robyn/tarball/HEAD' failed

What can I do to resolve this?

Environment & Robyn version

R version (4.1.2)

is there more error message you can share? if it's about rate limit, you should find many solutions by googling "install_github rate limit"

@advisorita good news! Just found the solution to this issue. Please, set options(timeout=400) and retry. When we have slow connection there's not enough time for the download to happen, so we must extend the timeout default limit. Let me know how it goes.

issue resolved!

That's great, thanks for letting us know.

This needs to be trumpeted from the rooftops. I just wasted two hours.
