Hi Damien,

Where did you see that code? In previous versions (say a few months ago), you installed the package using that command. The Readme now has the following code:

library(devtools)
install_github("poweRlaw", "csgillespie", subdir="pkg")

Hi Colin,

I was being slightly elliptic: I did copy-paste from the readme:


> library(devtools)
> install_github("poweRlaw", "csgillespie", subdir="pkg")
Installing github repo(s) poweRlaw/master from csgillespie
Installing poweRlaw.zip from
https://api.github.com/repos/csgillespie/poweRlaw/zipball/master
Error: client error: (403) Forbidden

Hi Damien,

OK, the command works for me on my desktop and laptop.

  1. What operating system are you running?
  2. Does the install_github work for other repos? I think knitr uses this method
  3. Can you access the url https://api.github.com/repos/csgillespie/poweRlaw/zipball/master from your browser.

Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.6 (squeeze) Release: 6.0.6 Codename: squeeze

R 2.15.2

I perfectly can access the url you gave me:

It is possible to install the zip by hand ?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Damian,

You're running Debian. So,

  1. Download the zip file
  2. Unzip the file: unzip csgillespie-poweRlaw-
  3. cd into the csgillespie-poweRlaw directory
  4. R CMD INSTALL pkg/

Let me know if that works.

It may be a problem with devtools. Would you raise an issue on the devtools repo?

damienchallet commented 11 years ago

Dear Colin,

Yes indeed, it worked. Many thanks for your help! I will look into devtools and raise an issue if needed.

Best regards

Damien

Dear Colin,

The dependence on devtools is >=1.0, otherwise one gets the error 403 (the problem being that I don't have R 3.0 and devtools could not update itself to the latest version)

Thanks again for your help.

Best regards
