Could you help me with this?

Many thanks, R

Hi, this seems to be a problem with the devtools package unfortunately. Which version of R are you using? Have you updated it? Best.

Hi, I don't see anything wrong in your command, please try again by copying this command which works devtools::install_github("rondolab/MR-PRESSO") Have you tried to install it a few times? I don't see what this issue could be other than problems to connect to github because of the timed out. Could you maybe try installing the package manually? 1) Download the package from github https://github.com/rondolab/MR-PRESSO/archive/master.zip 2) unzip MR-PRESSO-master.zip 3) devtools::install("MR-PRESSO-master") Let us know if this worked. Best.

1. Download the package from github https://github.com/rondolab/MR-PRESSO/archive/master.zip
2. unzip MR-PRESSO-master.zip
3. devtools::install("MR-PRESSO-master") Let us know if this worked. Best.

Hi, Thanks for your reply! I have tried the first way many times to install this package but it failed. I download the package and the second way worked! Thanks a lot!

Hi there,

I tried installing the package with command devtools::install_github("rondolab/MR-PRESSO")

but I got the following errors:

`Downloading GitHub repo rondolab/MR-PRESSO@master
Error: Failed to install 'MRPRESSO' from GitHub:
  Command not found
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir) :
  skipping pax global extended headers
2: In untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir) :
  skipping pax global extended headers`

I tried your previous suggestion by downloading the package manually, unzipped it, and did devtools::install("MR-PRESSO-master"),

but I still got the following error:

Error in process_initialize(self, private, command, args, stdin, stdout, : Command not found

I wonder if there is anything I can try to do about this? I am using R 3.6.1.

I have another laptop running with R 3.5.1, and the package can be installed successfully, I wonder if the R version matters here.
