II would like to install devtools-1.12.0.9000 on my raspberry pi so that I can use install_github on R3.1.1 installed there. The 9000 patch solves the capabilities("libcurl") problem but I cannot figure out how to install it. Is there somewhere I can download the tar.gz file without using install_github.

Go to the devtools project page

Find the download repository link; click to Download Zip.

Try the approaches here to install from the tarball.

Alternatively, just install the CRAN version of devtools, then use older version of install_github included therein to install the new version:

install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("hadley/devtools")

  • Thanks. I did suggestion 1, downloaded the zip to my pc, moved it to a share on my raspberry pi, and it i – Nguinasso Jul 17 '16 at 00:27
  • Installed with no problem using install.packages, repos=NULL,type="source". – Nguinasso Jul 17 '16 at 00:28
  • Suggestion 2 doesn't work because of a known bug that Hadley kindly fixed in the 9000 patch. – Nguinasso Jul 17 '16 at 00:30
  • @Nguinasso oh, I see. I didn't/don't know what you mean by "the 9000 patch". Could you provide a reference? – MichaelChirico Jul 17 '16 at 16:46
  • One of the changes in dplyr-1.12.0.9000 is to fix a problem with capabilities("libcurl") in R3.1 which prevents using install_github with R3.1. My raspberry pi loads R3.1.1 so it cannot use dplyr-1.12.0 install_github. – Nguinasso Jul 17 '16 at 16:56
