Hi: I tried to install GENOVA using install_github("robinweide/GENOVA@v0.95") and my R version is v4.0.2，but failed. Here is the error information:

Could you give me some advices? Thanks in advance ! Best wishes Qianzhao

Hi,

I recommend installing the current version of GENOVA instead of the v0.95 version as follows:

devtools::install_github("robinweide/GENOVA")

If for some legacy reason you would need the older version you could use:

devtools::install_github("robinweide/GENOVA@v0.95", dependencies = FALSE)

However, the newer version made significant improvements over the older one so I'd like to repeat that it is probably better to install the newer version.

As an aside, if the bigwrig package doesn't compile on R4.02 (which I confirmed on my local Windows machine), we have yet another reason to pursue #118 .

Best wishes

It works! Thanks a lot.
