Re: [R] tikzDevice not available
Hello all! Thank you for your advice. The solution finally was like this: first install filehash package and then library(tikzDevice) Just in case any one needs it.

Re: [R] tikzDevice not available
I think it will come back again in the future. The maintainer is busy at the moment: https://github.com/Sharpie/RTikZDevice/commit/95069e0a1deeb8fb9db028bbb76f227ddfcdc559#commitcomment-1562437 For now, the easiest way to install it is probably via R-Forge: install.packages(tikzDevice, repos=http://R-Forge.R-project.org;) Or just download the tarball from CRAN and R CMD INSTALL it.
