installing dplyr 0.8 without rtools?

I am working on a machine with limited privileges, i.e. i can't install .exe files. Is there a way to install the dplyr 0.8 release candidate without rtools?

devtools::install_github("tidyverse/dplyr@rc_0.8.0")

doesn't work.

Some of the new features would come quite handy. Or is a release on CRAN anyway imminent? Many thanks!

It's on its way to CRAN, so I'd say you're probably OK holding off.

Otherwise, another Windows user could build the binaries for you, I guess.
