Installation from source fails

[stineb]

This looks like a super useful package. Unfortunately, the installation from source fails for me. Are there binaries available?

Which operating system are you running?

Mac OS X 10.15.7

Which version of R are you using?

4.0.3

What is the problem?

The installation from source fails for me. Gets stuck and nothing happens.

How can we reproduce this? Which functions have you used and with which datasets and parameters?

Just do
devtools::install_github("ilyamaclean/microclima")

Installation fails for me as well with this same issue. Forces whole R restart.
Mac OS X 10.15.7. R 4.0.3

Does this solve it:

You may need to start by installing “gfortran”, a free Fortran compiler. To do that, you first will have to Install Xcode from the Mac App Store. Then:

Open the installed Xcode app, agree to the license, and let it install some "components".
Install the Xcode command-line tools:
Open a Terminal window, by opening the Terminal application (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
Type “xcode-select –install” and follow the dialogs that open.
Download gfortran by clicking the appropriate following link:
gfortran 8.2 for Mojave (macOS 10.14) https://github.com/fxcoudert/gfortran-for-macOS/releases/download/8.2/gfortran-8.2-Mojave.dmg
gfortran 6.3 for Sierra (macOS 10.12) https://github.com/fxcoudert/gfortran-for-macOS/releases/download/6.3/gfortran-6.3-Sierra.dmg
Open the downloaded .dmg file and run the gfortran installer, follow the dialogs.
Now you are ready to install R package microclima. You will need to install the microclima package from Github. To install packages from Github you will need the package devtools:

install.packages(“devtools”)
devtools::install_github("ilyamaclean/microclima")

I am not good at programing so I have absolutelly no idea what can I do to solve it. Thanks for your help in advance!

I have the same issue as well. it forces R to stop working.

I am no longer keeping this package maintained as we are decommisioning it in favour of our new package microclimf and it is too time consuming to keep on top of and bi-pass all issues caused by changes to packages that are dependencies of microclima that I do not maintain. The solution to the above is to install the rnoaa package from archive and then install microclima. https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/rnoaa/
