Line with linearly changing thickness – installation issues

I would have imagined that drawing a polygon would be the way most

Regarding Murrell's package:

I thought the package name was "vwline". My attempt to install was 
unsuccessful>

 > devtools::install_github("pmur002/vwline")

Furthermore, I do get the same error from attempting to install 
pkg:twine from github.
