Unable to install Retip

[anloto]

Hi,
I want to install Retip but I am not able to install.
There is a problem when I try to install devtools::install_github("Paolobnn/Retiplib")
Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub:
Failed to connect to api.github.com port 443: Connection refused
I don't know how to solve this problem.
Thanks.

Hi,
the download works, its just very large and the download is slow.
You can also check the manual download as ZIP.
https://github.com/PaoloBnn/Retiplib

> devtools::install_github("Paolobnn/Retiplib")
Downloading GitHub repo Paolobnn/Retiplib@master

Installing Retiplib

If the download fails for your computer or R installation,
try a virtual machine or cloud instance with a fresh install.

Hi, I was able to download the zip file but I don't know how to continue now (I'm not an expert in R software).

Please, how I can use the Rproject downloaded?
Thanks in advance

@anloto, depends what operating system, which R version and user name.

From the blurry screenshot it seems you work under WIN with R4.1.2
So use a tool like ultrasearch or so to find your standard R library path,
or use the R command, to find you library path and then unzip the files there.

.libPaths()

I still recommend the standard installation:

devtools::install_github("Paolobnn/Retiplib")

Because if that is not working something is wrong. Also you were able to install retip with devtools,
but not the retiplib? Is that correct?

I was able to install Retiplib using zip file, but I was not able to install Retip with devtools, the same message appears: Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub:

I try to install Retip using zip file (https://github.com/PaoloBnn/Retip/releases/tag/v0.5.4) but I found the following message:
Error: package or namespace load failed for 'Retip':
.onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details:

error: No CurrentVersion entry in Software/JavaSoft registry! Try re-installing Java and make sure R and Java have matching architectures.
