Hi there, I am unable to install the package in Linux (R3.6):

I've seen a similar problem here that seems to be related with an encoding problem.

Thanks in advance

• Looks like the new R pipe |> might be used in add_shape.R. The new R pipe |> was introduced with R v4.1 and does not work with earlier R versions.
• Judging from your target library directory /home/apascual/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/ it looks like you have R v3.6.

[apascualgarcia]

Yes, I am using R v3.6. Perhaps documenting that R v4.1 is needed? FYI, I was trying to install your package because rayshader requires it, so I guess should also be documented this limitation there.

Thanks for your help

I'm not sure how the maintainer @tylermorganwall wants to handle this issue going forward but in the meantime CRAN maintains an archive of earlier {rayvertex} releases some of which may work for you: https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/rayvertex/ . You could try downloading one of them and installing it e.g. via R CMD INSTALL. Or if you know a desired older git commit hash or tag you can use remotes::install_github("tylermorganwall/rayvertex", ref = "commithash") or remotes::install_github("tylermorganwall/rayvertex", ref = "committag") to install an older version of the package from the github repo.

[tylermorganwall]

I updated the requirements to include R 4.1.0 at a minimum (on the github repo), so you should at least get a more informative error when trying to install the package.
