Josh or anybody else,

First I want to thank Josh for his attention to this bug. I looked at the
following URL:
     https://github.com/joshuaulrich/quantmod/issues/197
and I see the following:

I just pushed an update to the 197_getQuote branch. Please test and provide
feedback!

There is one minor issue regarding the "Last Time" field. It's currently in
your local timezone, not the exchange timezone. The fix needs to account for
the possibility that users may request multiple symbols, and those symbols
may be from exchanges in different timezones. You cannot mix timezones in a
POSIXctvector, so we need to check whether all the timezones are the same,
and convert them to a common timezone if they are not.


What I do not know is how to get this update? I have run the following
command:  update.packages()
However, this command updates all packages and I do not believe I can
specify the particular branch 197_getQuote. What should I do?

Have you tried what's suggested in the README.md?  I've quoted the
relevant portion below:

Installation

The current release is available on CRAN, which you can install via:
install.packages("quantmod")

To install the development version, you need to clone the repository
and build from source, or run one of:

# lightweight
remotes::install_github("joshuaulrich/quantmod")
# or
devtools::install_github("joshuaulrich/quantmod")

I am using version 3.4.2 of R and I run the following two commands:
      library(quantmod)
      x=getQuote( "XOM" )
and get the following error messages:

In addition: Warning message:

What should I do?

Search open issues (the function name and portion(s) of the error are
usually good search terms):
https://github.com/joshuaulrich/quantmod/issues/

And report a new issue if someone else already hasn't.  In this case,
it's already been reported and I'm working on a fix:
