For anyone who might be interested:
I’ve always used the qcc package (SPC, capacity, capability and more).
To install the latest version, I installed it directly from GitHub rather than from the repository.
As far as I know, I think the information is outdated and it no longer installs using
install.packages(“devtools”)
devtools::install_github(“luca-scr/qcc”, build = TRUE, build_opts = c(“--no-resave-data”, “--no-manual”))
A message in RStudio suggests installing using (As I remember)
pak::pkg_install("nameofpackage")
in fact I think it's for qcc:
pak::pkg_install("luca-scr/qcc")
Note: This command is for the latest version 3.0 from GitHub. If you use pak::pkg_install("qcc") probably it will install the 2.7 version from CRAN (correct me if I'm wrong).
because some functions in devtools have been deprecated.
If you could confirm this information, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Devtools is not deprecated and the install_github() function is not deprecated, either. In fact in the latest version of devtools it uses pak.
Recently we suggest pak instead of devtools, because pak may be easier to install than devtools, and devtools also installs lots of dependencies that you might not need.

Hello Gabor, thans for reply.
Okay, but for me, only “pak” worked, no matter how much I tried devtools.
But it's good to know that devtools are not deprecated.
