Installation problem (solved) on R 3.6.1 (Windows) caused by ggplot2

[jgrzadziel]

I just want to report an issue during the installation of ampvis2 package on:

Windows 10 x64 R 3.6.1

The problem is ggplot2 package. To resolve it I had to install ggplot2 via:

devtools::install_github("tidyverse/ggplot2")

instead of:

install.packages("ggplot2") or install.packages("tidyverse")

I don't know why, since the version of ggplot2 is the same from both sources.

Hi there. ggplot2 should be installed automatically with ampvis2 without manually doing it. But what was the error message when it failed?

I think this is because you installed ggplot2 previously on a newer version of R than the current one you are using.

Thank you, if that is the case the issue can be closed. I'm sorry for the confusion.
