unexpected behavior when trying to install pegas with githubinstall()

[vinsondoyle]

githubinstall("pegas") installs an old version of pegas from the repository of dwinter:

githubinstall("pegas") Suggestion:

githubinstall("emmanuelparadis/pegas/pegas"), strangely, installs an R package to retrieve trading prices and other data from the Australian Energy Market Operator. Not too useful for genetic data!

IMO, this is not a bug with pegas, but rather a bug (or perhaps a feature!) of whatever package supplies the function githubinstall(). Based on my google search, I think it's this one? https://github.com/hoxo-m/githubinstall

If it is, your issue is probably best fielded there.

Thanks for the feedback. I will post it there.

After resolving a gcc compiler issue on my computer, I was able to install pegas from a local version of the repository. I tried using githubinstall() as a work around since it works well for other packages. I thought it might be of interest to the developers of pegas.

Thanks! I guess that's solved.
