Installing citrus on Windows

Hello,

When trying to install citrus on windows/Rstudio I get the following error ,

devtools::install_github('nolanlab/citrus')
Downloading GitHub repo nolanlab/citrus@master
from URL https://api.github.com/repos/nolanlab/citrus/zipball/master
Installing citrus
Installation failed: cannot open the connection
Warning messages:
1: In normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) :
path[1]="C:\Users\cm355973\Downloads\plyr-master\plyr-master": The system cannot find the path specified
2: In read.dcf(path) :
cannot open compressed file 'C:\Users\cm355973\Downloads\plyr-master\plyr-master/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory'

is there any way to correct this?

Many thanks

Hi,
Never encounter this error, but:
a) check you can access to the package over internet: simply copy/paste the URL https://api.github.com/repos/nolanlab/citrus/zipball/master in Firefox to verify that your computer can download it
b) pre-install the plyr package, typing the command install.packages("plyr") in your R console or via the package wizard of RStudio.
Hope this help.
