Failed to install 'ArchR' from GitHub

Hi,

I followed the installation instructions, but there is still an error about Cairo:

Cairo is a graphics library - https://www.cairographics.org/download/ Once this graphics library is properly installed on your system, you should be able to install the R library Cairo which utilizes the graphics library. So i assume you just dont have the Cairo graphics library properly installed.

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried to install the Cairo graphics library, but it didn't work for me.

Then I installed other two packages:

xorg-x11-server-xvfb-cos7-x86_64 libxt-devel-cos7-x86_64

It works.

try installing it through conda, it worked for me

conda install -c r r-cairo
