Common error when trying to install networkplanner.R

[carbz]

Not sure why this is happening for some users:

install_github("SEL-Columbia/networkplanner.R") Installing github repo networkplanner.R/master from SEL-Columbia Downloading networkplanner.R.zip from https://github.com/SEL-Columbia/networkplanner.R/archive/master.zip Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) : couldn't connect to host

i think on windows machine you will have to specify the username field. ie install_github("networkplanner. r", "sel-columbia"). i think the "username/repo" style only work on unix based os. On Mar 27, 2014 11:29 PM, "Jonathan Carbajal" notifications@github.com wrote:

I've used the username/repo style on both Linux and Windows environments okay so I don't think that's it.

Retried the comman again though and it just worked. It have been do to internet issues here in Jakarta or trainees' competition for bandwidth.

If Internet bandwidth is causing trouble you can install from zip file with corresponding function.

Not quite a success yet but some progress. Error message we're encountering now with loading of rgeos is below:

A subsequent attempt yields yet a different error message. Starting to think there may be something funny with permissions for the trainee's computer or since he is runnning Windows on a Mac machine..

I don't know about the this. Rgeos has this dependencies on Geos library, it won't install properly if Geos is not installed. Windows and Mac should have this, but as for Mac that runs windows....

Just realized that for windows machine you MUST install Rtools from CRAN, otherwise non-cran packages wont install properly.
