Package installation issue on Windows

[moldach]

I get an error when trying to install this specific repo (I tried for wordcountaddin and it works).

That's an unusual error message I haven't seen before. I attempted to reproduce your problem on Windows 10 with R 3.5.3, and could not reproduce your error. The package install completed successfully. May I suggest that you update the version of R on your machine and try again? I guess there is some corruption in your local libraries.

I've found the same problem just today, this time using a Mac OS X.

We've taken a look and reproduced the error. The problem seems to have been a major update to the usethis pkg, which changed the names of many functions that we depend on. I think we've fixed it now (working on OSX and Linux), would you mind to check and let us know how you go?
