Installation failure

[grwhumphries]

Hi there

In an attempt to install via: install_github("ropensci/rnaturalearthhires") I received a strange generic error:

Downloading GitHub repo ropensci/rnaturalearthhires@HEAD
Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = method, quiet = quiet,  : 
  download from 'https://api.github.com/repos/ropensci/rnaturalearthhires/tarball/HEAD' failed

Not sure what's going on there. Any help would be appreciated

Humm, works fine on my side:

Really strange. I'm unable to download it using either remotes or devtools. For now I'll download the zip and install it that way. I'll do some playing around and see if I can't figure it out.

here's my sessioninfo in case it's useful to someone:

@grwhumphries have you found a solution? Is this issue still relevant?

[PMassicotte]

This seems to be working:

[ins] r$> devtools::install_github("ropensci/rnaturalearthhires", force = T)
Using github PAT from envvar GITHUB_PAT. Use `gitcreds::gitcreds_set()` and unset GITHUB_PAT in .Renviron (or elsewhere) if you want to use the more secure git credential store instead.

@PMassicotte - seems to be working now - I should have closed this issue but got buried with other stuff. I've moved to R 4.3
