Dear friends,

I have just installed R version 4.2.1 for Windows on my machine, and was
trying to install package spDataLarge, but the console threw the following
error message:

Warning in install.packages :
  package 'spDataLarge' is not available for this version of R

A version of this package for your version of R might be available
elsewhere,
see the ideas at
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages

I used the following command to try to install it:

install.packages("spDataLarge", repos = "https://nowosad.github.io/drat/",
type = "source")
I tried with earlier versions of R (4.2.0 and 4.0.3) but I keep getting the
same error. I was searching to see if I could obtain information regarding
the R version or versions that support this package, but haven't found
anything thus far.

Any suggestions on how to successfully install this package?

Something odd is that I was able to install package spData, but not
spDataLarge (in R version 4.2.1)

Best regards,
Paul

Hello,

That package is not a CRAN package, it's not even archived.
Try

remotes::install_github("Nowosad/spDataLarge")


(If you haven't installed it yet, package remotes is a CRAN package.)

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

I'm on a Linux box and I get no difficulty using:

install.packages("spDataLarge",repos  =  "https://nowosad.github.io/drat/",type  =  "source")

That was the third of three options on its webpage at:

https://github.com/Nowosad/spDataLarge


There is an "issue" from Roger Bivand regarding the need for 
type="source: https://github.com/Nowosad/spDataLarge/issues/24

It would seem that `type="source"` might be superfluous since the 
package does not require compilation. At any rate there are two other 
options at that page and you might want to investigate them.

Dear friend Rui,

Hope you are doing great. Your suggested workaround works perfectly, I was
able to successfully install package spDataLarge by doing:

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("Nowosad/spDataLarge")

Thank you so much for your valuable and kind help.

Best,
Paul

Dear friend David,

Hope you are doing great. Thank you for your kind reply. I was able to
successfully install package spDataLarge following Rui's suggested
workaround:

installing package remotes and then using the following command:
remotes::install_github("Nowosad/spDataLarge")

Cheers,
Paul
