You have a few issues in there — the first of which appears to be related to not having write-access to your library directory.

You haven't shown your input here, but you need to be sure to specify the correct path, etc. (see answer from SO below)

and if this is my package then it is necessary to file it in .tar.gs expansion

mara · June 7, 2018, 2:13pm

Does it work without your doing so?

lazy · June 7, 2018, 2:22pm

no
this mistake:
Warning: invalid package 'C:/Users/lkod/Documents/R/win-library/3.5/score.zip/score/score.Rproj'
Error: ERROR: no packages specified
In R CMD INSTALL
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘C:/Users/lkod/Documents/R/win-library/3.5/score.zip/score/score.Rproj’ had non-zero exit status

Can you please show your input and output? It looks like you haven't specified what to install.

cderv · June 7, 2018, 8:49pm

Hi,

what are you trying to install ?

A from a local cran repository on your local filesystem, that you created or have access to on?
A from source that you downloaded or build locally (*.tar.gz) ?
A you are working on in a RStudio project (a folder)?
A in a local git repository ?

There is a solution for each of this one, so we need more information in order to help you.

Yes, you haven't installed score so you can't load it.
You need to specify the package you're installing.

jdlong · June 8, 2018, 1:43pm

you didn't install anything in this step. You could install something with:

install.packages('score')

or run ?install.packages to see the help on how to install.

cderv · June 9, 2018, 11:35am

When working with your own package, you can use devtools::install_local() to install either from a local directory containing source package, or either from a build source packages tar.gz. See the help

You can also install a package you build locally with install.packages("<path-to-your-package>", type = 'source', repos =NULL). see help(install.packages)

You tried it but not providing the good path to your package in pkgs argument.

Can you try to install correctly as explained in docs and see if it is ok ?

lazy · June 11, 2018, 6:59am

As @jdlong mentioned, you need to install the package score currently you've set up your arguments such that it looks like you're trying to install a package with the name of your full file path.

The first argument of the function install.packages() is pkgs. If you are trying to install a package from the a local downloaded tar file, you need to specify type = "source". If you're on windows, you also need to make sure you have rtools installed.

See the stack overflow thread here:
