cannot download the code

[musicpiano]

Hi ,

I tried this command:
if (!require("remotes")) {
install.packages("remotes")
library("remotes")
}
install_github("leeper/prediction")
install_github("leeper/margins")

The error is:

Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = download_method(), quiet = quiet, :
cannot download all files

This sounds like a problem on your machine or something flaky. Is it still occurring?

The commands work on my computer. This issue should be closed.

I reinstalled the system two months ago. The problem is still there. Don't know how to solve it. It looks like a common problem.

Thanks

clone and install locally? this doesn't seem like a margins issue (can you install other packages from github?)

Thanks for your reply. It is the problem of install_github. It cannot install anything from github. I am new to R. Still don't know the issue after searching many posts.

I cloned the package to my local machine. Would you please tell me how to install? Sorry, I have searched online, cannot find the way to install it locally.

Look into R CMD INSTALL

or

library(devtools)
install('path/path/path')

[musicpiano]

it works. Thank you so much
