brianstock / mixsiargui Goto Github PK

When running the code:

devtools::install_github("brianstock/MixSIARgui", dependencies=T) # installs MixSIAR as dependency

I have received this error:

Error: Failed to install 'MixSIARgui' from GitHub:

The idea is to increase the subdivision of the installation steps so that users can follow along in the process and identify exactly which steps of the process are not working as intended. These steps are also expanded to include instructions on how to install depreciated / archival packages.

Installation

The GUI...

On windows

1. Install R 3.6.3. Only installing the 64 bit version may save some heartache with RGtk2 32 bit issues...
2. Install JAGS
3. Open R
4. Install MixSIAR

install.packages("MixSIAR", dependencies=TRUE)

5. Install nondepreciated GTK+ dependent packages

install.packages(c("RGtk2", "devtools"))

6. Install depreciated package gWidgets

install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/gWidgets/gWidgets_0.0-54.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")

7. Load RGtk2. You will be prompted to install GTK+. Follow the automatic prompts and do not interrupt the GTK+ installation!:

library(RGtk2)

8. Restart R and run

library(RGtk2)

9. Install depreciated package gWidgetsRGtk2

install.packages("cairoDevice", dependencies=TRUE) # is a dependency of gWidgetsRGtk2
install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/gWidgetsRGtk2/gWidgetsRGtk2_0.0-83.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")

10. Install MixSIAR gui interface and skip update step with a line return

devtools::install_github("brianstock/MixSIARgui", dependencies=TRUE)

There may be an error message about needing RTools 35. Don't worry. This error can be ignored if the next step works fine.

11. Load MixSIAR and run gui

library(MixSIARgui)
mixsiar_gui()
