Error in read.dcf(path)

I am having trouble installing Laurae2/Laurae into Rstudio version 3.5.2. I write into R:
devtools::install_github("Laurae2/Laurae")

And receive the following error:
Error in read.dcf(path) :
Found continuation line starting ' modeling. ...' at begin of record.

I have found another user having trouble with a different package, but am unsure how to apply the solution to my answer: psoerensen/qgg#3

Cheers!
