为什么我在 devtools::install_github 中出现语法错误？

Question

I am new in working with linux. I am trying to analyse sequencing data using dropEst pipeline https://github.com/hms-dbmi/dropEst#dropreport . I want to run the DropReport and for that I need to install dropEstR package.

I tried by :

devtools::install_github('hms-dbmi/dropEst/dropestr' , dependencies = T) 

as they suggest and I get as an error:

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `'hms-dbmi/dropEst/dropestr','

Do you have any idea what should I do differently?

Answer 1

I think you are using the "wrong" shell. You have to use R/RStudio, when you want to use the devtools package. From CRAN:

Title Tools to Make Developing R Packages Easier

I just tried you command in RStudio but installation fails in the end:

ERROR: dependency 'Rcpp' is not available for package 'dropestr'
* removing 'C:/R/R-3.4.2/library/dropestr'
Installation failed: Command failed (1)

Answer 2

You have to run such script on RStudio for R. Import your project here and run it.

You can download it from enter link description here

Happy Coding.
