Install error: Error in if (type == "binary") { : argument is of length zero

I'm having trouble getting Pavian running in R on an Amazon Linux ec2 instance. This is probably not an issue with Pavian itself but I'm hoping someone can help. Neither of the following install commands work for me, giving the error "Error in if (type == "binary") { : argument is of length zero":

> remotes::install_github("fbreitwieser/pavian") Downloading GitHub repo fbreitwieser/pavian@master Installing 13 packages: crosstalk, DT, ggplot2, gtable, lazyeval, plyr, rappdirs, reshape2, rhandsontable, shinycssloaders, shinydashboard, shinyjs, withr Error in if (type == "binary") { : argument is of length zero

I'm not having any luck googling around so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit: I just tried the install on my local machine (a chromebook running linux) and I get the same exact error. However I ran it on our remote server and that works fine. I'm pretty much stumped for now.

Edit2: I got pavian working on my local machine via Docker but would still be interested if anyone has insight on the R issue.
