Hi, I just upgrated R to 3.6.2 version and I am trying to install ggbiplot using install_github("vqv/ggbiplot",force=TRUE), but it doesn't work.

Can someone help me with this?

This is an experimental package, so it may be that it simply isn't ready for primetime use. However the docs say that library(devtools) is needed before install_github. What packageVersion(devtools) do you have ?
It may be worth trying to upgrade version on that.
I saw on the GitHub others logged issues with problems of installing, so you're not alone.

Thanks for the response. I was finally able to install it after following these paths:

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Write or paste in: defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG en_US.UTF-8
  3. Close Terminal (including any RStudio window)
  4. Start R
    Thk again
