Issue Installing rerddapXtracto in R

Youngling Posts: 12 Join Date: 9/6/17 Recent Posts

I am attempting to download the rerdappXtracto package in R and getting the following error message:

> install.packages("rerddapXtracto")
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘rerddapXtracto’ is not available (for R version 3.6.3)

Is this really an issue with my version of R, or something else? Just wondering how you'd go about solving this. Thanks!

Hi Morgan, here are the instructions:

If you get an error with rerddapXtracto,follow these next steps:

Run this in R: .libPaths()
This will tell you where your packages are installed. There will be two paths, one in Program Files, and another one (for me it's in Documents/R). You want the second one, that's your user library, not the base library.
Download rerddapXtracto_0.4.8.zip and unzip it in that user library path

You should then be able to load the package in R (library('rerddapXtracto')). It might give you a warning message, but should work.
