Installation failure

[jaunario]

I have a free tier google colab notebook that needs to regularly install geodata. But for some reason, probably a recent push in the repository have caused remotes::install_github("rspatial/geodata") to fail.

The CRAN package fails to install too.

Hi Jorrel!

The install works fine for me (see below, please do not include screen shots).

It seems that you cannot install "archive" either, so perhaps there is something more general going on. These install problems are often associated with using RStudio. So if you are using RStudio, try the R console instead (in a fresh, empty session.

I get:

remotes::install_github("rspatial/geodata")

Hi Robert!,

Sorry about the screenshot.

I'm not using RStudio. I developed a tool on Google Colab. It's essentially an IPython Notebook on a Google Cloud Server.

I was able to fix the issue by installing terra from Github as well. I was installing terra from CRAN before.

Thanks!
