Install error - missing DESCRIPTION file

[JanaMus]

Hi, thank you for the package! Unfortunately, I´m not able to install the package - probably because of the missing file.

From GitHub:

devtools::install_github("KGerhardt/RecruitPlotEasy")

Downloading GitHub repo KGerhardt/RecruitPlotEasy@HEAD
Error: Failed to install 'RecruitPlotEasy' from GitHub:
Does not appear to be an R package (no DESCRIPTION)

From file:

install.packages("RecruitPlotEasy.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.2’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
cannot open compressed file 'RecruitPlotEasy/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory'
Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection

Due to updates in R that have broken the R functionality of RecruitPlotEasy, I am no longer supporting an R installation of the tool. There is now an all-python version which can be found through pip at https://pypi.org/project/RecruitPlotEasy/

Thank you! Could you please share a link to the documentation/tutorial/etc.?

I tried to install it via pip (> pip install RecruitPlotEasy), but unfortunately, I´m not able to import it (> import RecruitPlotEasy) as it says "no module named RecruitPlotEasy".

I'm working on getting the documentation together - however, try just typing "rpe" into the command line where you pip installed RecruitPlotEasy. The code is not a python module to be imported, but a standalone command line tool. Usage options should appear.

just ran into the same issue with this - thanks for the update re: python installation. pip install and rpe plot/build works for me, haven't got further than that yet though! :) this is by no means a necessity, merely a suggestion, but would you consider releasing the python installation as a conda package? would be lovely for slotting this tool into pipelines. thanks so much!!
