Hi,

I am new to R.

I tried to install the following package devtools::install_github('hfgolino/EGA'), it was not successful. I got the following error message (see below). I look forward to your advice.

> devtools::install_github('hfgolino/EGA')

Did you install Rtools ? it is need to install package from source on windows. Intalling from github require Rtools.

Here's the link for the RTools, by the way: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/

It's not an R package (common source of confusion!), but instead a set of external dependencies needed for building R itself from source or for building add-on packages containing non-R code from source.

installr :package: is a good helper for this kind of task (installing Rtools)

it works on windows and you have a install.rtools function.

Hi Saran, please try installing the EGA package again. I fixed all bugs, and I have a new stable version now. Use the following code:

library(devtools)
install_github("hfgolino/EGA", dep = TRUE)

Best wishes,
Hudson
