If you want to install from a file, you have to set parameters this way

install.packages(path_to_file, repos = NULL, type="source")

[Yeng]

Thank you Andresrcs for your suggestion unfortunately I still get the same error.
install.packages("/opt/EasyStrata_16.0.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")

[andresrcs]

Could you share a link to that source file so I can give it a try? I can't find that version on the CRAN archive

You can find the source file in here : Software - Universität Regensburg

I don't see a link for that specific version (16.0), could you please provide a direct download link (not to a website)

[Yeng]

Andresrcs, unfortunately I wont able to attached or upload the files here due to network policy being implemented prohibiting us to upload any files. may email will do though.

[Yeng]

May you kindly please try this link

https://homepages.uni-regensburg.de/~wit59712/easystrata/EasyStrata_18.1.tar.gz

@Yeng

unfortunately I wont able to attached or upload the files here

That was not what I meant
I was just asking for the specific download link for the file, for example this script will install 8.6 version without problems

# Download file
url <- "https://homepages.uni-regensburg.de/~wit59712/easystrata/EasyStrata_8.6.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "EasyStrata_8.6.tar.gz"
download.file(url = url, destfile = pkgFile)

# Install dependencies
install.packages(c("Cairo", "plotrix"))

# Install package
install.packages(pkgs=pkgFile, type="source", repos=NULL)

# Delete package tarball
unlink(pkgFile)

@Yeng

https://homepages.uni-regensburg.de/~wit59712/easystrata/EasyStrata_18.1.tar.gz

I have installed that version on RStudio Cloud without any issue

# Download file
url <- "https://homepages.uni-regensburg.de/~wit59712/easystrata/EasyStrata_18.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "EasyStrata_18.1.tar.gz"
download.file(url = url, destfile = pkgFile)

# Install dependencies
install.packages(c("Cairo", "plotrix", "data.table"))

# Install package
install.packages(pkgs=pkgFile, type="source", repos=NULL)

# Delete package tarball
unlink(pkgFile)

Do you mind sharing the steps please/
I wonder what I'm doing different, I save the source on /opt

[andresrcs]

That script contains the exact steps I have taken, I haven't done nothing else

[Yeng]

Here's what I did.

root@servername R]# R
> install.packages("/path2tarball/EasyStrata_18.0.tar.gz")

Then get the error i pasted here (both Cairo and plotrix already been installed)

[andresrcs]

I'm sorry I can't help you any further, the error message is not very informative and I can't reproduce your problem. Hopefully some one else will be able to help you.

[Yeng]
