Unable to install epidemics on MacBook about epidemics HOT 9 CLOSED

Do you mean installing {epidemics} on Windows?

Yes

I would rather do docs as code and include installation instructions in the Readme or in a vignette.

That should be fine too. Was only providing one suggestion.

Here's my session info:

Thanks - I'll take a look to see whether throwing the current state on to Rhub flags any problems, that might help diagnose the issue.

from epidemics.

This issue has been fixed here stan-dev/cmdstanr#790 as it was more broadly an issue with my computer not being able to install packages from source because of a broken toolchain. Hope this helps someone else later on.

The issue can be closed now.

Thanks for following up @jamesmbaazam - I'll re-add the Discussion tag and add a 'known-issue' tag as well, and keep this open for future reference.

It might also help to set up an installation wiki OR point to those in other places, for example, rstan. I was contacted by someone last week about installing this package on Windows and it turned out their issue was that {rtools} wasn't on their path.

Thanks, I'll open an issue for this. Would you or the person who asked about Windows installation be able to provide a reprex or more details about the Rtools issue? Or any other issues that I could cover in the installation guide?

from epidemics.

That was Hikaru. I doubt the issue can be reprex'd as it was a path issue and has been resolved. More broadly, the instruction for Windows users should be for them to ensure they have {Rtools} installed and added to the system path. Something along the lines of the instruction in the rstan wiki.
