tar.gz release archive #4

Closed hedgehog closed 6 years ago

hedgehog commented 6 years ago

Hi Given the problems installing reported in issue #3, I tried to install from an archive. R requires tar.gz files.

Further when I tried to unpack the .zip archive to create the tar.gz myself winzip remports the zip file is corrupt. I've tried several downloads.

Hope that helps.

Hi @hedgehog,

I'm not sure exactly what steps you've followed. What is the output when you try:

download.file(
  url = "https://github.com/sboysel/fredr/archive/master.zip",
  destfile = "fredr-master.zip"
)
utils::unzip(zipfile = "fredr-master.zip", exdir = "fredr-master")
devtools::install(pkg = "fredr-master")

As in #3 , verify that Rtools is installed first.

Thanks for using the package!

Sam
