deciphering error around "icon" package

[nbaes]

Context/ Problem: Trying to decipher the issue below and fix it. I think I may need to install another version of R or the package "icon" but not sure!

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("nstrayer/datadrivencv")

You'll need to ask the author of GitHub - nstrayer/datadrivencv: R package for building customizable CVs from spreadsheets where to get the icon package.

the icon package this package relies on is no more, I believe it has a substitute though.
as Gabor wrote, the package author, or someone else that can fork and adapt the package should ideally rework it to be compatible with the available icons package, in lieu of this you have the following work around:
'icon' package not available · Issue #81 · nstrayer/datadrivencv (github.com)

The description file specifies

Remotes: 
    ropenscilabs/icon

So you have to install it from Github

devtools::install_github("ropenscilabs/icon")

Thank you! I think there is a new version soon to be released, but this workaround was very helpful. This ended up working with no errors:

# remotes:: install_local("datadrivencv-master.zip") # install modified `icon` package from laptop; removed "icon (>= 0.1.0) from "DESCRIPTION"
# devtools::install_github("ropenscilabs/icon") # install `icon` package separately
#   
# install.packages("devtools")
# devtools::install_github("nstrayer/datadrivencv")
library(datadrivencv)

Thank you for pointing out the description file--I had not known to read the information about the package (had jumped to using it), so this was helpful. I also ended up using

devtools::install_github("ropenscilabs/icon")

versus

remotes::install_github('mitchelloharawild/icons@v0.1.0')
