Installation dependencies?
Closed this issue · 3 comments
I just tried installing treescape on a different computer and the installation failed because Rcpp, adegraphics and RLumShiny were not installed. (Even though I was using the option "install package dependencies".) I wonder if these should be in the "depends" list as well as the "imports" list in the description? Or just something buggy about this computer?!
I have seen this in other packages too, annoyingly even when teaching in Glasgow. I think this is related to this:

Suggesting we need to provide a repos when installing the package. Apparently there was a bug with devtools at some point, fixed in the github version, which did not handle dependencies upon installation.
I'll handle it. We're tricking R with our shiny app released alongside the package. So it doesn't know about dependencies of the app. May need to post on R-dev.. sigh.
Solved (I think)
