Install Error: there is no package called 'crayon'

[mmelendrez]

Hello - I am attempting to install BugBase locally and ran into an install problem. At the end of the install it halted execution stating:

Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'pillar', details:
  call: loadNamespace(name)
  error: there is no package called ‘crayon’

  There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
        binary source needs_compilation
ggplot2  2.2.1  3.0.0             FALSE

installing the source package ‘ggplot2’

Github says the full output is too long for inside this message so I have attached it. BugBase_install.txt I ran the command again this morning

to verify the error:

wsb255bioimac27:~ mel_local$ run.bugbase.r -h

Please advise...thank you!

I had the same problem as yours and I figured out that the error is that there is a mistake in loading package "biom" and "biom" only can be used under R 3.4.0 or higher. So I upgraded my R and rerun the script, all went well.

You can check your R version and try if R 3.4.0 or higher is working or not.

Best wishes.
