Trying to install but get the following error (even though ChatGPT says last week's replacement code looks perfectly valid):

Cheers.

For some reason ieugwasr is failing to install on R 4.0.5 and earlier versions.

The quickest way to fix this is for you to update the version of R you are using to R 4.1.0 or later.

R 4.0.5 was released in 2021, so is almost 3 years old, so you don't want to be using such an old version of R anyway.

This is fixed in the development version of ieugwasr, so if you're still using R 4.0.5, you can install that with

remotes::install_github("MRCIEU/ieugwasr")
