Cannot install from github

Thanks for making this package! I can install from CRAN, but not from github. When I try installing, I get the following error:

Error: Failed to install 'saccades' from GitHub:
(converted from warning) installation of package 'filepath is here' had non-zero exit status.

I tried downloading it as a zip and then installing. When I do, I get "Error in library(saccades) : ‘saccades’ is not a valid installed package"

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I just tried installing it from GitHub and it worked as expected. Could you please post the complete output of the installation process. The info you show above is just the summary and not enough to tell what went wrong.

A note: The version on CRAN is badly outdated. I should get it removed. The reason why I didn't update it is because one CRAN maintainer is really difficult to deal with, and I didn't want to repeat the experience that I had when I submitted the initial version of the package.

Thank you for the reply! Here is the output when I tried to install it:

I think you need to reinstall the zoom package before you install saccades.
