Section 1.1.6 command to install packages #28

Closed ygao55 closed 4 years ago

ygao55 commented 4 years ago

I could not install the package "SMAC-Group/stat297" by the command in the book. Error message: package ‘SMAC-Group/stat297’ is not available (for R version 3.6.2)

Searched the website, the following commands worked to install the package: install.packages("remotes") remotes::install_github("SMAC-Group/stat297")

Also I had to download and install the Rtools first before being able to run install.packages: https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/Rtools/

Thanks for your feedback! The approach we meant in https://smac-group.github.io/ds/index.html#r-and-rstudio is: first, install the devtools package; load the package library(devtools); then you can install the stat297 with the command devtools::install_github("SMAC-Group/stat297"). I agree the explanations need more clarity. We will improve on the explanations. Since you managed the installation, I marked it as close.
