4 months ago Hi,
Can you try "devtools" instead of "remotes"?
In addition, you can directly download the package from the GitHub repository as a ZIP file, unzip it, and install it from the local directory using install.packages(path_to_unzipped_folder, repos = NULL, type = "source"), replacing path_to_unzipped_folder with the actual path to the unzipped package directory.
Please let me know if this works.

4 months ago Hi - thank you for your help, I can't install devtools unfortunately. I tried remotes::install_local(paste0(.libPaths(), "/", grep("zip", dir(.libPaths()), value=T))) which failed with ERROR: dependency ‘gert’ is not available for package ‘usethis’.
I tried installing 'gert' separately but I get an error similar to other users so I'll also try to figure that out and close the issue if I succeed.
I also tried your suggestion but unfortunately I also get an error:
> install.packages(paste0(.libPaths(), "/", grep("zip", dir(.libPaths()), value=T)), repos = NULL, type = "source")
Error in rawToChar(block[seq_len(ns)]) :

Just as an FYI, if I run devtools I get:
> devtools::install_github("Winnie09/Lamian")
