I get the error 

Downloading GitHub repo ucd-ipo/aip-analysis@master

When using install_github('ucd-ipo/aip-analysis') on a windows machine. I think this is an issue with devtools and windows, and there isn't anything we can really do on our end, but I think it is an argument to use a drat repo and host binaries of the app for ease of installation. devtools is just too hit-or-miss.

This is just an issue with spaces in the path to the R executable. @msimmond In the turtorial, we should make sure users don't install R in C:\Users\Program Files or wherever the default location is. It should be in just C:. Although, that might require users to have admin privileges on their computers. I guess that's where the flash drives come in. Anyway, this is something to discuss.
