Hi, I'm following the installation instructions found on the OpenWetWare site but am running into the following error

ravemanager::install()

[Original Error]: error in pak subprocess
================================================================================
# ---- RAVE installer detects the following error(s): --------
type 'binary' is not supported on this platform

I assume type 'binary' is referring to the installation method for some package, but I'm not sure which one. I'm running R version 4.2.0 on RHEL 7. Let me know what other information you need. Thanks

Hi @mdefende,

Sorry for the late reply. In theory it should work on Linux. There might be some configurations not set properly on RHEL 7.

I have made some fixes trying to solve this issue. Would you mind retry the installation from step2?

install.packages('ravemanager', repos = 'https://rave-ieeg.r-universe.dev')

Currently, I don't have access to any other RHEL servers. If the above fix does not solve the issue, please feel free to schedule a zoom with me dipterix at upenn.edu. I'm more than happy to help.

Thanks, this fixed it. I was able to do a full installation using the current instructions. I appreciate the help
