I was playing around with rstudio.cloud after @mara tweeted about it, but it seems I can't get very far due to multiple packages not installing properly. The packages in question seem to be quantreg and rgl, which I don't use directly but are dependencies of packages I would like to use, namely tad…

Interestingly, your example (devtools::install_github("sailthru/tidyjson")) worked nicely for me. My original example of install.packages("sjPlot") however still fails. As of now, I'm leaving that as is, as per JennyBryan reaffirming my "it's really early, just wait a while"-suspicion.

RStudio Cloud attempts to cache package binaries installed from CRAN to improve install time performance. There is a known issue where sometimes these cached binaries are not compatible with the compiled version of we're running. We have it on our backlog to improve this. In the meantime, installing…

Hi, I'm having problems to install ggplot2 dev version from github in the Rstudio Cloud. Could someone give me some hint how to solve this problem? devtools::install_github('tidyverse/ggplot2') It returns an error: Downloading GitHub repo tidyverse/ggplot2@master from URL https://api.github.com/r…

It's a bit odd that devtools is attempting to use the temp directory /tmp/work. Do you have any customized settings? Perhaps in your RProfile or Renvrion files?

Hi, Andy! Thank you for your reply. I don't have any customized settings and there are no custom RProfile or Renviron in the project. I was able to manually install the package. Thank you.

I see this as well. Just tried to start up a fresh cloud session and install dev reticulate. > devtools::install_github("rstudio/reticulate") Downloading GitHub repo rstudio/reticulate@master from URL https://api.github.com/repos/rstudio/reticulate/zipball/master Installing reticulate Installation …

The problem happens within devtools:::package_deps(). Specifically the line: remote <- structure(lapply(deps, package2remote, repos = repos, type = type), class = "remotes") package2remote calls the utils function, packageDescription(). This is what returns the tmp/work directory. You can se…

Hi davis! Excellent sleuthing! We've identified this as a problem with how we are building packages for that cache, and will work on a solution. Thank you for the great reprex!

[image] stevenolen: We've identified this as a problem with how we are building packages for that cache, I'm seeing the same behavior if I try and install anything on rstudio.cloud from github that depends on Rcpp: devtools::install_github("hadley/devtools") # Downloading GitHub repo hadley/…

Did you try to do utils::install_packages("Rcpp") after changing the repo? Try that then install from GitHub. Repeat for any package that shows up in the warning
