I have just installed climpact in R and when I runApp I got this message Error in library(climdex.pcic) : there is no package called ‘climdex.pcic’ I tried install.packages('climdex.pcic') but i get this Warning in install.packages : package ‘climdex.pcic’ is not available for this version of R

A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere, see the ideas at https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages

devtools::install_github("pacificclimate/climdex.pcic")

Unfortunately, CRAN removed the climdex.pcic package very shortly after a unit tests failed on one of the CRAN member's personal workstations. He had just performed an OS software update on MacOS. We at PCIC were given minimal notice, no opportunity to reproduce the problem, and our request for an extension was denied by CRAN. Re-submission of the package has been stymied by CRAN deleting the log files from the failing test that was run on the CRAN admin's personal workstation.

Like @miturbide mentioned, one can install climdex.pcic using the devtools package:

# if devtools is not installed
install.packages('devtools')

devtools::install_github("pacificclimate/climdex.pcic")

Or using a source tarball. climdex.pcic_1.1-11.tar.gz

# ensure dependency is installed
install.packages('PCICt')

install.packages('/path/to/climdex.pcic_1.1-11.tar.gz')
# or
install.packages('https://github.com/pacificclimate/climdex.pcic/files/12099174/climdex.pcic_1.1-11.tar.gz')

We'll get the official version 1.1-11 of climdex.pcic on our website ASAP, and will update the documentation accordingly.
