Unable to install_local() with R Shiny Golem app

[jennyv0]

I am creating a Shiny app using the golem framework. I am at the last part where I am testing to see whether the app can be installed like a package by running remotes::install_local().

However, I am running into the following error:

remotes::install_local()
Error: Failed to install 'XXXX' from local:
  HTTP error 404.
  Not Found

  Did you spell the repo owner (`XXXX`) and repo name (`XXXX`) correctly?
  - If spelling is correct, check that you have the required permissions to access the repo.

Here are the files that are in the project folder - I think that the structure is correct and it contains everything that it needs?:

I'm a bit confused, if I am trying to install locally, why is it requiring the repo owner and name? (It's also listing the incorrect repo too).

Thanks

FAQ: Is it OK if I cross-post?

Posting the same question both here and on other sites Posting the same question to multiple forums at the same time is often considered impolite. We don't completely ban such cross-posting, but we ask you to think hard before you do it and to follow some rules. Cross-post sparingly Rather than post the same thing here and elsewhere from the get-go, post in one place at a time. Let enough time go by (think days, not hours) before you take your question somewhere else. Sometimes people at another site may suggest you post here if your question doesn't fit within the scope of the other site. Always link to your other posts, and update everywhere with any solution…

Ah I found the solution.

I needed to assign a personal access token using credentials::set_github_pat() before running install_github('owner/repo') . !
