Install problem using 'remotes::install_github'

[vchabri]

Hi,
I just tried to install the VAM package from this repo.
I followed the instructions to install it:
install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("rcqls/VAM")

However, I got this issue:
Downloading GitHub repo rcqls/VAM@HEAD
essai de l'URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/Rtools/Rtools35.exe'
Content type 'application/x-msdownload' length 108622512 bytes (103.6 MB)
downloaded 103.6 MB

Erreur : Failed to install 'VAM' from GitHub:
Could not find tools necessary to compile a package
Call pkgbuild::check_build_tools(debug = TRUE) to diagnose the problem.

I used devtools::install_github("rcqls/VAM") instead and it worked!
Hope this will potentially help other users.
Regards

Hi, VAM package uses rcpp package. You need to previously install this package which need also to previously install a C compiler. Best regards Laurent Doyen Le 17/08/2020 à 10:40, vchabri a écrit :
