Hi! I am having issues installing the tailfindr in RStudio (version 4.4.0). I've been able to install devtools and rbokeh successfully but when I try to install tailfindr using devtools, I get this error:

Please let me know if you have any ideas to resolve this issue!

Hi,

To solve this error, you need to address the authentication issue. The error message indicates that there's a problem with the credentials being used to access the GitHub repository. Here are the steps to resolve this:

Check your GitHub credentials:

Ensure you have a valid GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) set up. Verify that the token has the necessary permissions to access the repository.

Configure your Git credentials:

Rungit config --global credential.helper store to enable credential storage. Then set your GitHub username and PAT:

git config --global user.name "Your GitHub Username"
git config --global user.password "Your GitHub PAT"

I would also recommend that you use Dorado instead of tailfindr for polyA tail profiling. I have left academia and will no longer update or develop it further. So for your project's sake, it is better that you use a tool that has a forseeable future.

Best, Adnan
