thanks for the reply. I realize while focusing on making a reprex, I still left out a lot of required info.
System is MacOS Mojave (10.14.6).
I tried your suggested fix but get an error installing from GitHub:
> library(devtools)
Loading required package: usethis
> install_github('AndriSignorell/DescTools/')
Error in parse_repo_spec(repo) :
Invalid git repo specification: 'AndriSignorell/DescTools/'
Any other suggestions? I've posted the entire error log for randomcoloR, hope that would be more helpful. DescTools showed similar errors, so hope that one solution will work for the other.
