Problems installing Trelliscopejs

[mafemc]

Hello,

I want to work with Gdelt using R, so i need gdeltr2 and for that i need to install Trelliscopejs...well...i already install devtools but when i do this:

install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("hafen/trelliscopejs")

R keep saying this:

Installation failed: Timeout was reached: Resolving timed out after 10000 milliseconds

or before that it doesnt know what is install_github.

i installed githubinstall and GDELTtools.

Please help! because i don´t get it.

ps: i have [RStudio 1.1.456 - Windows Vista/7/8/10] and [R-3.5.1]

It's possible you have a firewall blocking installation from github (hence the timeout).

If that is the case, then you can download the zip file from the github site and then install locally from source:
install.packages(path_to_file, repos = NULL, type = "source")

It's possible you have a firewall blocking installation from github (hence the timeout).

If so, you can also configure your proxy.

@mafemc

before that it doesnt know what is install_github.

Be sure to be in a clean session (restart R) and load devtool. Or call devtools::install_github directly.

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
