Lodown facility

Question

I am trying to install the lodown package, but the following error appears and I cannot solve:

 ERROR: loading failed
    * removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.4/Resources/library/archive’
    Installation failed: Command failed (1)
    '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R' --no-site-file --no-environ  \
      --no-save --no-restore --quiet CMD INSTALL  \

      --library='/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.4/Resources/library'  \
      --install-tests 

   ERROR: dependency ‘archive’ is not available for package ‘lodown’
    * removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.4/Resources/library/lodown’
    Installation failed: Command failed (1)

Does anyone have any idea what I should do?

Answer 1

If you’re using macOS, you need to agree to the license terms (Xcode/iOS License). You can go to the terminal and run the code below:

sudo xcodebuild -license

After that, try running the code to install the lodown package again:

devtools::install_github("ajdamico/lodown")

Answer 2

I just did the test and the installation happened without errors.

library(devtools)
install_github("ajdamico/lodown" , dependencies = TRUE)

The package archive, was installed with the aid of Rtools. You can download it here.
