Error: Failed to install 'muscat' from GitHub

[erikadudki]

Hi, I'm trying to install muscat via: install.packages("remotes") remotes::install_github("HelenaLC/muscat")

Thereby, I get the following error: Error: object ‘computeLibraryFactors’ is not exported by 'namespace:scater' Execution halted ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘muscat’ * removing ‘/home/erika/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/muscat’ Error: Failed to install 'muscat' from GitHub: (converted from warning) installation of package ‘/tmp/RtmpVXQ239/file7a44305512d6``/muscat_0.99.6.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

If more information is needed, just let me now. Thanks.

Hi Erik, I have just answered this exact same issue, but it has been unfortunately deleted... computeLibraryFactors is part of scater 1.13+ and only available through Bioconductor version 3.10 (current development version). This is no mistake, but rather, you're likely using Bioc 3.9 at the moment.

I have recently submitted the package to Bioc & it is aimed to available for Bioc 3.10. To use this version now,

• BiocManager::version() to view your current Bioc version
• BiocManager::install(version = "devel") to run / update to / install Bioc 3.10 (I recommend using a separate library for this rather than overwriting the stable 3.9 version of packages)

My apologies for this; I will add this as a dependancy for muscat ASAP to prevent further confusion.

PS: Please don't delete this issue.

My mistake, the issue before wasn't deleted, but raised as pull request here: https://github.com/HelenaLC/muscat/pull/7
