FACETS installs with errors in the beginning

[WortJohn]

@veseshan I install facets according to the manual install_github("mskcc/facets", build_vignettes = TRUE) but it runs unsuccessfully， the following is the error:

> library(devtools)
> install_github("mskcc/facets", build_vignettes = TRUE)

This error does not seem specific to facets but rather a devtools issue. Please check if you can use install_github on any other package available through github.

Thanks for your reply. I solve it through install_local
