Problems with installing HDCytoData Package on Windows

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Hello,

I am trying to install the HDCytoData Package in Rstudio and am encountering issues. Below is the command and error message I receive:

BiocManager::install("HDCytoData")
'getOption("repos")' replaces Bioconductor standard repositories, see
'help("repositories", package = "BiocManager")' for details.
Replacement repositories:
CRAN: https://cran.rstudio.com/

I have installed other packages with no issues, and this seems to be a Windows-specific problem. Could someone please advise? Thank you!

Apologies for the slow response. Was this issue resolved?

It looks like the issue was that the directory C:\Users\roger\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmp8mm0LN\downloaded_packages on your local system (where the Bioconductor installer was downloading the package) was not writeable, so maybe deleting this directory and trying again would help.
