Problem-installing-package-GlmmADMB
A few quick points: (1) I don't think you should need the windows toolchain to install glmmADMB; it doesn't have any compiled components (it has a pre-compiled binary "blob" that prevents it from being posted to CRAN). But try devtools::dr_devtools() (2) The fact that your error report ends with " --install-tests Installation failed: cannot change working directory" strongly suggests that you may have other problems with file permissions, as romunov suggests (3) It might be worth trying glmmTMB instead. glmmADMB is still supported (sort of), but glmmTMB is newer, nearly drop-in compatible with glmmADMB, faster, and better supported/under more rapid development.

Please, Roman, which Windows toolchain do you mean? 2018-06-27 15:55 GMT+02:00 romunov <romunov at gmail.com>:
A shotgun approach to solving this would be to have all R instances closed and make sure you have permission to write. Forgive me if I have not followed this thread from the beginning, but do you have appropriate Windows toolchain installed? Cheers, Roman On Wed, Jun 27, 2018 at 3:41 PM C. AMAL D.

Please include a bit more information in your problem report. At which step the problem occurs? Cheers, Roman On Wed, Jun 27, 2018 at 3:11 PM C. AMAL D. GLELE <altessedac2 at gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Amal, Maybe installing from GitHub could work. See instructions here https://github.com/bbolker/glmmadmb If that doesn?t work, please give us more information, like error
messages.
