Unable to install strataG or skeleSim in R v. 3.6.1

[ChrystelleDelord]

Dear Eric, Dear all,

Everything is in the title, I tried to install strataG (and also the package skeleSim) from GitHub on R 3.6.1, but this does not seem to work. I had an error message telling that R could not remove the prior installation of other packages (vctrs and tibbles regularly popped out the error messages).
If I understood well, there currently are some issues with the packages maintenance due to external factors, maybe related to R itself. May this explain why I could not download the packages?

Sorry for this quite technical question! Many thanks for any answer!

Best regards,
Chrys

My apologies. There are a set of related and unrelated issues that have been requiring me to redevelop some of the components of strataG as well as skeleSim afterwards. Unfortunately, I don't think I will have everything done until mid-October at the latest due to other work responsibilities and some other issues I am attending to. A new release of both packages will be made and these issues will be closed with notifications when everything is complete.

Thank you very much Eric, I just wanted to make sure I had not done something wrong!

Good luck with all that, and thank you so much for these very useful packages!

Cheers,
Chrys

I just want to let you know that we are patiently waiting. We do understand, however, how it is when you have everyday duties and the whole internet of people bugging you about some old projects ;)
Cheers,

Thanks for your patience. This is on my near-term list. I have made several updates to strataG and it can be installed from my GitHub repository. I need to make a few more before a CRAN release then I will turn to skeleSim.

To install strataG, you may need to install rmetasim from Allan Strand's GitHub repository first:
install_github("stranda/rmetasim")

Hi all,

I added strataG along with other popgen packages to my r-universe, so if you want to install on mac/windows without a compiler you can use:

# Enable this universe
options(repos = c(
    zkamvar = 'https://zkamvar.r-universe.dev',
    CRAN = 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))

# Install some packages
install.packages('strataG')

Thanks Zhian! That'll be handy!

Hi,
I'm having problems when installing this package.
I've tried different things, but I'm still getting: dependency ‘phangorn’ is not available.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

My apologies. The skelesim package does not function with the current version of strataG (on GitHub). I have not had the time to finish my updates to strataG and then update skelesim. I hope to be able to get to this in the next few months. However, the version of strataG on GitHub should be installable.
