RPresence package not downloading in R

[ccrosby14]

Hi all,

Just tried to show a colleague a bit about RPresence and we both had the same issue with trying to download it from the USGS website.

Here was the error we both received (mine was fine after because I already had it downloaded, but she was unable to get it to work):

"https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/Rtools/
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/User/OneDrive/Documents/R/win-library/4.1’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
unable to access index for repository https://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/mbrCRAN/b ... ontrib/4.1:

Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘RPresence’
These will not be installed"

My thinking is that maybe the USGS servers are down for maintenance, but I wanted to post here in case that isn't the case and see if there was something we were missing.

Thanks!

Works for me. Looks like you're using R v4.1? Might not be available for that version.

And if you are, you should probably update R regardless

Huge over site on my part!

Thanks for the quick response. Works great now.

Hello,

I know this post is a few months old, but I am getting a similar error
"Warning in install.packages :
unable to access index for repository https://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/mbrCRAN/src/contrib:
cannot open URL 'https://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/mbrCRAN/src/contrib/PACKAGES'
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘RPresence’ is not available for this version of R"

I am using the latest R version, is that the problem?

The problem was due to a Windows server issue and should be resolved now.

Thanks Jim,

It worked yesterday and I tried this morning on other 2 computers and I received the same error message.
