Looks like r-universe Mac and Windows builds are erroring out, e.g. https://github.com/r-universe/ropensci/runs/3725483247?check_suite_focus=true. @jeroen, anything on my end I can do to fix this? NB in the jagstargets workflow files I had to write my own commands to install JAGS on Mac and Windows.

The best solution would be to make the package installable, even when JAGS is not available: https://github.com/ropensci/jagstargets/pull/22.

Fair enough, if it is the only way I guess I will go with it.

Maybe we can come up with some way to install extra tools in r-univesre at some point, but for now this is the easiest solution.

By the way you should update your ubuntu version in CI because 16.04 is being retired (you will find the builds take very long).
