Animove Meta-Package

Installing this package ensures that the R packages needed for the AniMove course are available on each participant's computer. In addition, it provides example data to be used during the lectures.

Install the animove R package

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("AniMoveCourse/animove_R_package")

Issues when installing

1. If you get an issue similar to:

Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub:
   HTTP error 401.
 Bad credentials

The suggestion described here should solve it

2. If you get an issue similar to:

Downloading GitHub repo AniMoveCourse/animove_R_package@HEAD
Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = method, quiet = quiet,  :
  download from 'https://api.github.com/repos/AniMoveCourse/animove_R_package/tarball/HEAD' failed

The suggestion here (options(timeout=400)) seems to solve the problem.

3. Mostly for windows users,

if the library doMC fails to install, install it manually with install.packages("doMC", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org") and than installing the animove R library again should work.

4. If if you get asked to register a token

If you have a github account, go here https://github.com/settings/tokens to create a token. Than run in the R console GITHUB_PAT=your-token-without-quotes Restart R and try to install this library again
