Hi,

when trying to install the program in R version 4.0.2 I get the following error:

remotes::install_github("fbreitwieser/pavian") Downloading GitHub repo fbreitwieser/pavian@HEAD Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = method, quiet = quiet, : cannot open URL 'https://api.github.com/repos/fbreitwieser/pavian/tarball/HEAD'

What might be the problem?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi @termithorbor,

I hit the same error and was able to overcome it by running this command first:

options(download.file.method = "wininet")

I hope that helps!
