Update "How to install" section of the README file #39
Description
Hey, thanks for the great package! Recently, I was trying to install the package on my Windows machine and I was not successful until I discovered this in the install.packages() documentation:
For a 32/64-bit installation of R on Windows, a small minority of packages with compiled code need either INSTALL_opts = "--force-biarch" or INSTALL_opts = "--merge-multiarch" for a source installation. (It is safe to always set the latter when installing from a repository or tarballs, although it will be a little slower.)
The following code worked for me instead of the one that you have provided on the README file:
devtools::install_github(
"benmarwick/wordcountaddin", type = "source", dependencies = TRUE,
INSTALL_opts = "--merge-multiarch"
)I am not sure if other Windows users experienced problems with this package installation, but in my opinion it would be good to add the alternative that I just showed as a remedy if someone does experience something similar to what I did.
