Unable to use RMV2.0 package

[carlitosdavila]

Hi everyone,

I followed all the steps for the installation of the RMV2.0 package, however, when I launch the tool through the addins window in RStudio, I cannot select any option because the tool freezes. There is no chance to select an option. This is the warning error I get. Could you please help me with this issue?

Hi there, could you please share the R code/commands you are using to set up your workspace: Libraries installed etc.

I had encountered this error previously and solved by installing the Rtools40 toolchain bundle. This must be installed like other executable software and builds the R M&V 2.0 package into a usable format: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/

Hi,

I am unable to run RMV2.0 package as well. I followed the installation steps but after I click on Addins -> RMV2.0 the website is launched and I can click on the buttons but I can't get the browser to show anything. I went back into RStudio and found the following error: (I did install Rtools already)

> RMV2.0:::runRMV_UI()

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi there,

Have you installed all the following packages as below?:

`install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)

devtools::install_github("LBNL-ETA/RMV2.0")
devtools::install_version("shinyFiles", version = "0.6.2"
`

Note that a specific version of shinyFiles is required. R can also be quite sensitive regarding single vs double quotation marks, so you may need to try each if you have issues, but this has worked for me.

Let me know if this solves your issue!

Thanks @ConnorEnright . I did miss the library(devtools) step. However, I still get the same problem with the Browser buttons not working and the Warning error is a bit different:

I put XX where my computer path is for privacy.

Not sure what is wrong with the installation. Any other recommendations that I can try?

Thanks,

[ConnorEnright]

Hmmmm, hard to tell exactly at this point, could you also share all the script including loading the packages, that way I can try to replicate if needed?

[ConnorEnright]

Have you made sure you are installing Version 0.6.2 of shinyFiles?

[meblesa]

Hi Connor thanks for your help I have redone all the steps and had no problem this time around. Thanks

[Descoeurs]
