Unable to install due to expired SSL certificate

[watronfire]

Hi All,

I'm attempt to install the dev branch of the package using the following function call: devtools::install_github("outbreak-info/R-outbreak-info@dev" )

But I'm getting an error that the SSL certificate has expired.

thanks @watronfire -- we'll look into it.

@watronfire I'm unable to reproduce this error and I suspect its not an error with the package rather an issue with the local curl installation. Could you try reinstalling curl again (below) and rerunning?

install.packages("curl", type = "source", repos = "http://cran.rstudio.com/")

Could you also confirm that you are able to install other packages?

[watronfire]

I reinstalled curl using the command you provided without an issue, but the error while installing the outbreakinfo package remains.

I can also confirm that I can install other packages. I just tested by installing a random package from github.

@watronfire I cleaned up some benchmarking code that could be an issue because a request was being sent. I installed it locally on a fresh R installation and it worked. Could you please confirm if you can install from the branch now? Thanks!

[watronfire]

Thanks @gkarthik, that seems to have done the trick. I was able to successfully install from the dev branch.

sorry nate, that was my fault. never push commits written late at night.
