Problem to install the package

[luisaviegas]

Hello,
I cannot install the package because it returns the following error:
install.packages("mapast")
Warning message:
package ‘mapast’ is not available (for R version 3.4.3)

This is also happening for R versions 3.3.3 and 2.5.1.

Hi @luisaviegas

nice to know that people are installing the package and trying to use it. We are still developing it, so maybe you would like to wait two more weeks in order to install a "final" version.

Sayed that. A warning is not an error, it is just a "warning". The package should work. So, no worries about this "warning". This just indicates that we programmed our package using a specific version of R. So, it will through a "warning" if you use any R version older than 3.4 (it is strange that it also gives you a warning with 3.4.3... it shouldn't...!).

Also, mapast is not on CRAN yet, so, you need to install it via github. using devtools.

I hope that this helps,
please, let us know about your experience with the package,
all the best,
Sara

Hello Sara, the warning message comes only when I try to install by CRAN (and the package did't works). I just tryed to install by github again and found the problem. It was just a problem with the required packages (maps and Rcpp). I fixed it and now it's ok. Thank you! I'll start to use the package now. Congrats for your initiative, it is a very useful package!!! Cheers 2018-02-20 6:31 GMT-03:00 Sara Varela <[email protected]>:
