Downloading GitHub repo SlicerMorph/SlicerMorphR@HEAD
tar.exe: could not chdir to 'C:/Users/adria/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpiWq4kl/remotes26e850ef3a9d'
Error: Failed to install 'SlicerMorphR' from GitHub:
Does not appear to be an R package (no DESCRIPTION)
Además: Aviso:

What command did you run for installing?
Thanks for your reply Alex. I tried several ways:
devtools::install_github('SlicerMorph/SlicerMorphR') and remotes::install_github('SlicerMorph/SlicerMorphR')
That's weird, I ran the exact same command, it works for me. The error message indicates no DESCRIPTION file, but there is obviously a DESCRIPTION file in the Github repo.
A first guess would be that somehow the file got corrupted during download (is that even possible?), and maybe if you just retry in a fresh session it will work.

Is it possible that your computer's hard drive is full, and failed to create the temporary directory?
I would suggest to git clone the repository on your computer, and use devtools::load_all() or devtools::install() within this repository. At least, you will see directly what's happening.
It is worth to give pak a go:
install.packages("pak")
pak::pkg_install("SlicerMorph/SlicerMorphR")
Hi!
I´m sorry about delayed reply. I´ve use devtools::load_all() and obtain this message:
devtools::load_all()

If there are files set to "hidden" in the file download path . tar (C:/Users/adria/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpiWq4kl/remotes26e850ef3a9d) can influence?
Sorry I wasn't clear enough: devtools::load_all() has to be run inside the package directory.
One way to do it: in RStudio, select New Project, then "Version Control" and "Git". As repository URL, paste "https://github.com/SlicerMorph/SlicerMorphR". In "Create Project as subdirectory of" set wherever you want to store the package.
RStudio should then download everything and open a new window. In this, try running devtools::load_all().
I don't expect this to be a problem.
I think that "Git" isn´t install in my pc´s
Indeed, in that case you can do it the manual way. Go to https://github.com/SlicerMorph/SlicerMorphR, click on the green "Code" button, and on "Download ZIP" (or click here).
Then uncompress the zip file, in RStudio select "New Project" > "Existing Directory" and choose the path to the uncompressed content. Careful: it should be the directory that contains the files, for example:
C:/Users/Alexis/Downloads/SlicerMorphR-main/SlicerMorphR-main
(notice that there is a SlicerMorphR-main subdirectory inside the SlicerMorphR-main directory).
Then same thing, Create Project and devtools::load_all().
Thank you very much for all the indications and patience. Finally I was able to install the package, it has very useful functions for my work.
Greetings
Adrian
