LCTMtools install

[james-gwinnutt]

Dear Hannah,

I'm having some trouble installing LCTMtools to R. I've used the code:

library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("hlennon/LCTMtools")

And the installation asks me whether I want to update a load of packages. I updated all these manually in the end, but one that still comes up on the list is "backports" (even though I tried installing/updating this package manually). When I choose to update this one through the LCTMtools installation, I get to this error:

Error: Failed to install 'LCTMtools' from GitHub:
(converted from warning) cannot remove prior installation of package ‘backports’

If I choose to update no packages, I get to the error:

Error: Failed to install 'LCTMtools' from GitHub:
(converted from warning) installation of package ‘C:/Users/myusername/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpmsTViI/file26a415ca7608/LCTMtools_0.1.3.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit
status

I wonder if you know what might be causing these errors?

Best wishes,
James

Hi James, Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately your message went to my spam folder. I will email you the raw files to install from source. Please can you provide me an email address ? I hope this is still relevant for you Best wishes Hannah
