issue with install instruction #9

Closed rlzijdeman closed 8 years ago

rlzijdeman commented 8 years ago

Hi, in the installation instruction it reads one should use 'ghit'. I'm not sure what it is, but couldn't find it through google, nor does the provided code work on my Mac. The usual code does work:

library(devtools) #install first if not yet installed install_github("iqss/dataverse-client-r") library("dataverse")

@rlzijdeman ghit is a lightweight alternative package to devtools for installing from GitHub. It is on CRAN. What error did you receive when you tried to install using the supplied instructions?

rlzijdeman commented 8 years ago

Hi, the initial error I received was: Warning message: In library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, : there is no package called ‘ghit’

However, in hindsight I was on a bad connection yesterday, so maybe that was the cause of the issue.

This morning I tried again, and it now seems to download, but with the following error: Loading required package: ghit Error : object ‘remote_ls’ is not exported by 'namespace:git2r' trying URL 'http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/macosx/mavericks/contrib/3.2/ghit_0.2.5.tgz'

I hope this helps.

Best,

@rlzijdeman Thanks. You have an outdated version of the git2r package. Running update.packages() will solve that issue.
