Issues installing qiime2 R

[lautaro-rostoll]

Hello, Thanks a lot for the tutorial you created to install this package. I followed the tutorial to install the program, but I was not able to install it. Here are the commands and error that I got:

devtools::install_github("jbisanz/qiime2R") Downloading GitHub repo jbisanz/qiime2R@HEAD These packages have more recent versions available. It is recommended to update all of them. Which would you like to update?

2: CRAN packages only
3: None
4: backports (1.2.0 -> 1.2.1) [CRAN] 5: dplyr (1.0.3 -> 1.0.4) [CRAN]

let me know if you can help to figure out what is the problem!

Hi there, this is a sporadic issue with windows that is not specific to qiime2R. It might be further aggravated by having your R libraries stored inside a microsoft onedrive sync'd folder. The solution is probably to change where you are storing your libraries but first thing first, try doing what the error message said:

ERROR: failed to lock directory 'C:/Users/lauta/OneDrive - University of Florida/Documents/R/win-library/4.0' for modifying
Try removing 'C:/Users/lauta/OneDrive - University of Florida/Documents/R/win-library/4.0/00LOCK-backports'
