GitHub installation error

[bschilder]

Hello,

I seem to be unable to install motifbreakR via the GitHub repo. It seems to be a compatibility issue with the package S4Vectors.

devtools::install_github("Simon-Coetzee/motifBreakR")

MotifbreakR isn't your problem. R is complaining that you're running R version 3.6.2 but you have a dependency that was built under a different version.

Upgrading R to 3.6.3 seemed to fix it. Thanks.
