Failed to install - unsupported proxy error message #6

Closed valentinitnelav closed 2 years ago

valentinitnelav commented 4 years ago

When installing the plotbiomes package one can get something like below:

devtools::install_github("valentinitnelav/plotbiomes")
## Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub:
## Unsupported proxy 'https://proxy.companydomain:8080', libcurl is built without the HTTPS-proxy support.

Same happens with remotes::install_github("valentinitnelav/plotbiomes").

Note that, https://proxy.companydomain:8080/ is just an example here (can be whatever the case).

By the way, note that the error message doesn't catch the package's name. It gives 'unknown package'. Check into that as well.

This was a problem regarding my user profile, environmental variables and admin group policies. The proxy issue got solved by the IT. This is not an R problem. Curious though why the error message didn't catch the package name...
