@emmaliulu what operating system are you using?

emmaliulu commented 3 years ago

@zarrarkhan I am running on a Windows machine.

zarrarkhan commented 3 years ago

Can you please close out R studio. Then in base R try and install the raster package directly:

install.packages("raster")

Please post any errors you get when you try that. Also, you can email me at zarrar.khan@pnnl.gov directly so I can arrange to debug this with you live.

The installation passes all the installation checks on github actions on multiple platforms so it is strange that it is failing on your system.

@zarrarkhan Problem solved! Thank you!

@zarrarkhan Another problem occurred when I tried to load a map.

I think this one is just a problem with write access in the folder where you are trying to run rmap. Please see if any of the following work for you:

Please make sure you have permission to create and delete folders/files in the location you are running rmap.
If you know you have write access in some particular folder, try and use that: rmap::map(mapUS49, folder = "full/path/to/folder")
If you just want to run rmap to use the outputs within R without saving you can also turn save off: rmap::map(mapUS49, save=F)
