In similar fashion to the following question:
Error when using install_github: 'exdir' does not exist
I cant seem to install packages from github using the devtools package, getting the following error on all packages I've tried (slidify, rCharts, rga, magrittr etc...):
Error in unzip(src, list = TRUE) :
zip file 'C:/Users/.../Rtemp\RtmpGIlGBA/master.zip' cannot be opened
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In unzip(src, exdir = target, unzip = getOption("unzip")) :
error 1 in extracting from zip file
I've changed the temporary directory to somewhere writeable in case this was the problem:
write("TMP = 'C:/Users/.../Rtemp' \n
TMPDIR = 'C:/Users/.../Rtemp' \n
TEMP = 'C:/Users/.../Rtemp'",
append = TRUE,
file = file.path(Sys.getenv('R_USER'), '.Renviron'))
readRenviron(".Renviron")
But to no avail. I have also setwd() to somewhere else and checked whether there is an issue with unzip() by getting the zip file from github directly:
temp <- tempfile()
download.file("https://github.com/ramnathv/slidifyLibraries/archive/master.zip",temp)
unzip(temp)
This appears to work fine, and I've since installed the packages using build() etc... but it is not as handy as the install_github(). Any ideas?
