Hello everyone, I can install packages from CRAN, but I got some problem for installing packages from Github or downloaded package files. I got this problem in recent weeks.
example: > devtools::install_github('bart6114/artyfarty') Downloading GitHub repo bart6114/artyfarty@master from URL https://api.github.com/repos/bart6114/artyfarty/zipball/master Error in utils::unzip(src, exdir = target) : cannot open file 'C:/Users/FanJ/AppData/Local/Temp/Rtmp6PonUm/devtools23184c742bf4/Bart6114-artyfarty-abf831d/R/helpers.R': No such file or directory so, I downloaded the package and try to install it from local folder: > install.packages("C:/Users/FanJ/Downloads/artyfarty-master.zip", repos = > NULL, type = "win.binary") Error in install.packages : cannot open file 'C:/Users/FanJ/Documents/R/R-3.3.2/library/file2318185d1b3c/artyfarty-master/R/helpers.R': No such file or directory It seems R try to create an extra folder "file2318185d1b3c". I googled this problem. some people said it is caused by TMP dir. But that seems not my case: > Sys.getenv(c("TMP","TEMP","TMPDIR")) TMP TEMP "C:\\Users\\FanJ\\AppData\\Local\\Temp" "C:\\Users\\FanJ\\AppData\\Local\\Temp" TMPDIR "C:\\Users\\FanJ\\AppData\\Local\\Temp" > .Options$unzip [1] "internal" > sessionInfo() R version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) Running under: Windows 7 x64 (build 7601) Service Pack 1 locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_Canada.1252 LC_CTYPE=English_Canada.1252 LC_MONETARY=English_Canada.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C LC_TIME=English_Canada.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] agricolae_1.2-4 Evapotranspiration_1.10 zoo_1.7-14 dplyr_0.5.0 [5] purrr_0.2.2 readr_1.0.0 tidyr_0.6.1 tibble_1.2 [9] ggplot2_2.2.1 tidyverse_1.1.1 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] gtools_3.5.0 reshape2_1.4.2 splines_3.3.2 haven_1.0.0 lattice_0.20-34 colorspace_1.3-2 [7] expm_0.999-1 AlgDesign_1.1-7.3 withr_1.0.2 foreign_0.8-67 DBI_0.5-1 sp_1.2-4 [13] modelr_0.1.0 readxl_0.1.1 plyr_1.8.4 stringr_1.2.0 munsell_0.4.3 combinat_0.0-8 [19] gtable_0.2.0 rvest_0.3.2 devtools_1.12.0 memoise_1.0.0 coda_0.19-1 psych_1.6.12 [25] forcats_0.2.0 curl_2.3 parallel_3.3.2 spdep_0.6-11 broom_0.4.2 Rcpp_0.12.9 [31] scales_0.4.1 gdata_2.17.0 jsonlite_1.2 deldir_0.1-12 mnormt_1.5-5 digest_0.6.12 [37] klaR_0.6-12 hms_0.3 stringi_1.1.2 gmodels_2.16.2 grid_3.3.2 tools_3.3.2 [43] LearnBayes_2.15 magrittr_1.5 lazyeval_0.2.0 cluster_2.0.5 MASS_7.3-45 Matrix_1.2-8 [49] xml2_1.1.1 lubridate_1.6.0 assertthat_0.1 httr_1.2.1 R6_2.2.0 boot_1.3-18 [55] git2r_0.18.0 nlme_3.1-131 Any suggestions?
