Install issue

[Sebastian-Mynott]

Hi Vasco,

I'm keen to give PrimerMiner a try but have run into an issue. When installing, I get the following Warnings and Error:

> install.packages("~/Downloads/PrimerMiner-0.12.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source") Warning in untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir, restore_times) : skipping pax global extended headers ERROR: cannot extract package from ‘/Users/sebastian/Downloads/PrimerMiner-0.12.tar.gz’ Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘/Users/sebastian/Downloads/PrimerMiner-0.12.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

Any idea wha I might be doing wrong?

Many thanks, Sebastian

Dear Sebastian,

Thank you for your request.

Yes, files downloaded from Github are compressed. You have to "unzip" the folder. On mac, just double click on the downloaded file. Then you can access the folder contents and it should install without any issues.

Please let me know if that works or if you need further assistance.

Dear Vasco,

Thank you for your prompt response. I did try installing the ‘unzipped' package without success.

install.packages("~/Applications/R Packages/PrimerMiner-0.12", repos = NULL, type = "source") Warning: invalid package ‘/Users/sebastian/Applications/R Packages/PrimerMiner-0.12’ Error: ERROR: no packages specified Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘/Users/sebastian/Applications/R Packages/PrimerMiner-0.12’ had non-zero exit status install.packages("~/Applications/R Packages/PrimerMiner-0.12/PrimerMiner", repos = NULL, type = "source") Warning: invalid package ‘/Users/sebastian/Applications/R Packages/PrimerMiner-0.12/PrimerMiner’ Error: ERROR: no packages specified Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘/Users/sebastian/Applications/R Packages/PrimerMiner-0.12/PrimerMiner’ had non-zero exit status

I’m running R 3.3.1 in RStudio on macOS Sierra, if that helps.

Many thanks.

Sebastian

Hello Sebastian,

Can you please try changing the working directory first with

setwd("~/Applications/R Packages/PrimerMiner-0.12/")

And then try installing the package again using

install.packages("PrimerMiner", repos = NULL, type="source", dependencies=T)

I’m sorry if I caused you any frustration.
