[M_AcostaCH]

Hi community

Im want to install library(ggoxford) by github but show this error:

devtools::install_github("schliebs/ggoxford")

#Downloading GitHub repo schliebs/ggoxford@HEAD
#Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = method, quiet = quiet,  : 
 #download from 'https://api.github.com/repos/schliebs/ggoxford/tarball/HEAD' failed

remotes::install_github("schliebs/ggoxford")
Downloading GitHub repo schliebs/ggoxford@HEAD
Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = method, quiet = quiet,  : 
  download from 'https://api.github.com/repos/schliebs/ggoxford/tarball/HEAD' failed

Im try with force=T, but show the same errors.

Any advance for this ?

Smells like a connection problem. I just successfully installed with

devtools::install_github("schliebs/ggoxford")

Could also be a rate limiting problem. In any case, I would try using the pak package, at least it will give you a better error message:

source("https://pak.r-lib.org/install.R")
pak::pkg_install("schliebs/ggoxford")

I though the same but never show this error with any packages.

This was the solution, I'm never use this way for install, tnks!

Was a little time consuming but work well.

Seems like your internet connection is not very fast, so maybe previously you ran into some download timeout. R's default timeouts are quite short. pak's timeouts are more generous.
