The mismatch of parentheses makes me doubt this was an exact copy. I believe the username referred to in the error refers to the username of the author, not your username. Notice the form of all the examples on `?install_github` are of the form: install_github("klutometis/roxygen") Why are you not trying the code suggested on the github page: https://github.com/IRkernel/IRkernel install_github('IRkernel/IRkernel') (Worked for me on a Mac.
