Hello, I am trying to install gggenomes to R 4.3.1, but I keep getting the error:

> devtools::install_github("thackl/gggenomes")
Downloading GitHub repo thackl/gggenomes@HEAD
Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = method, quiet = quiet,  : 
  download from 'https://api.github.com/repos/thackl/gggenomes/tarball/HEAD' failed

Then I tried to install other packages through devtools and it worked. What can be the issue here?

Hm, very odd. Just tried it myself and it worked ok. What happens if you open https://api.github.com/repos/thackl/gggenomes/tarball/HEAD in your browser. This should download tar.gz of the package.

It downloads the file, then when I want to install the package using the tar.gz, it gives the output:

install.packages("~/Downloads/thackl-gggenomes-f29495a.tar", repos = NULL) Error in install.packages : type == "both" cannot be used with 'repos = NULL'

What version of devtools do you have?

eylulkepcen commented 8 months ago

I'm sorry, this line was missing during devtools installation:

devtools::install_github("hadley/devtools")

Now the problem is solved after running it. Thank you!
