Some issues
-
During the installation, it will ask if you want to update some packages for few times, just enter
EnterorReturnkey to skip it. -
If there is a error like below:
Error: Failed to install ’tidymass’ from GitHub: HTTP error 403. API rate limit exceeded for 171.66.10.237. (But here’s the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)
Try to resolve it by:
- In you R console, type this code:
if(!require(usethis)){
install.packages("usethis")
}
usethis::create_github_token()
It will open a page in browser, and create a “New personal access token” and copy it.
- Then type this code:
usethis::edit_r_environ()
and then add one line like below:
GITHUB_PAT=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
The GITHUB_PAT should be yours that is created in step 1.
And then restart R session and try again.
