Unable to install selbal #3

I am trying to install selbal using devtools::install_github(repo = "UVic-omics/selbal"); however I got this error: Error in read.dcf(path) : Found continuation line starting ' doParallel, ...' at begin of record. How do I solve it? Thanks in advance

There seems to be a bug in devtools right now. See https://github.com/r-lib/devtools/issues/1900

It also seems to only be affecting windows users. I successfully installed the package on a linux system but the same command failed on windows.

You can get around this bug by cloning the github repository, then using the command "devtools::install_local('PATH_TO_WHERE_YOU_CLONED')"
