dqmagic for windows user

[VincentGuyader]

Hi,

When I try to install dqmagic on windows I have this error :

Any ide how to correct this ?

Currently, dqmagic officially runs on Linux and Mac OS X. However, there is experimental Windows support in the windows branch. That is not uploaded to the drat repository, though. Installing via

remotes::install_github("RInstitute/dqmagic@windows")

might work. Let me know what happens. :-)

@VincentGuyader Have you tried installiing dqmagic via devtools?

I know this is an old issue, but it may help you to get feedback:

Installation on Windows 10 via

remotes::install_github("RInstitute/dqmagic@windows")

threw a warning:

In utils::untar(tarfile, ...) :
  ‘tar.exe -xf "C:\Users\Konrad\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpGiBW2V\file5dbc781933c7.tar.gz" -C "C:/Users/Konrad/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpGiBW2V/remotes5dbc38ba5de3"’ returned error code 1

but dqmagic seems to work as expected
