intstall_github gives: System command 'Rcmd.exe' failed

[JASlotman]

Ive recently updated to R 4.2.1 and Rtools42 on windows 10. And I now get an Rcmd failure. Ive looked around to find solutions to this and set correct paths etc but the issue is still there.

Since we made the SMoLR package I'd like to know how to solve this problem because using devtools is our standard way of letting users install this package. Is there any solution to this issue?

Oops Im very sorry, ive missed the manipulateWidget error. Somehow that dependency gives the issue. Dont know how I missed that for days. With a manipulateWidget present everything works fine.

You import that package from the NAMESPACE but don't require it in DESCRIPTION. Running R CMD check can detect these kind of issues.

Thanks a lot I'll change that!
