Fail to install Fantaxtic

[vfonti]

Hello! Fantaxtic seems to have some brilliant functions and I am keen to try it on my dataset. Unfortunately, I cannot find the way to complete it's installation. I have tried both through remotesand devtoolsbut nothing has worked. I've updated packages that needed it and re-installed rlang. This is the error message I get:

> devtools::install_github("gmteunisse/Fantaxtic")

I use a Windows machine and my R version is 4.0.1 . Any suggestions? V.

Hi, thanks for wanting to try out this package! I haven't maintained this package in a while, my apologies for the late response. It seems that you don't have phyloseq installed. You can install it using Bioconductor:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")

BiocManager::install("phyloseq")

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I will make sure to add it to the install notes.

On second though, you must have phyloseq installed. It seems that your issue arises from ggplot2 having been built under a different version, which results in a warning normally but is converted to an error. You might be able to resolve them by upgrading your R installation to the latest version. I found this issue https://github.com/r-lib/remotes/issues/403, which might help you in the right direction.

Hello, Thank you very much for replying. Yeah, I do have and work with phyloseq. And, actually, I am already using the latest R version (4.0.3). Maybe I can try reinstall ggplot2 and phyloseq?

Yes, do try. Also try using the remotes package from the issue I linked previously to install Fantaxtic - they seem to have a workaround. Wish I could help you any better!
