Devtools Install_github为Reprtree失败

Question

Searched the whole internet, but couldn't find a solution.

Wrestling now for hours with this problem.

library(devtools)
install_github("araastat/reprtree")

But I receive an error every time (tried multiple things, like restarting, turn off my vpn).

 Installation failed: Command failed (1) Warning message: S3 methods '[.git_tree', 'as.POSIXct.git_time', 'as.character.git_time', 'as.data.frame.git_commit', 

'as.data.frame.git_repository', 'as.data.frame.git_tree', 'as.list.git_tree', 'diff.git_repository', 'diff.git_tree', 'format.git_blob', 'format.git_commit', 'format.git_merge_result', 'format.git_note', 'format.git_signature', 'format.git_tag', 'head.git_repository', 'length.git_blob', 'length.git_diff', 'length.git_tree', 'merge.character', 'merge.git_branch', 'merge.git_repository', 'plot.git_repository', 'print.git_blob', 'print.git_branch', 'print.git_commit', 'print.git_config', 'print.git_diff', 'print.git_merge_result', 'print.git_note', 'print.git_reference', 'print.git_reflog', 'print.git_reflog_entry', 'print.git_repository', 'print.git_signature', 'print.git_status', 'print.git_tag', 'print.git_time', 'print.git_tree', 'sha.git_blob', 'sha.git_branch', 'sha.git_commit', 'sha.git_fetch_head', 'sha.git_merge_result', 'sha.git_note', 'sha.git_reference', 'sha.git_reflog_entry', [... truncated]

Edit. Another approach (as mentioned in the comments)

devtools::install("reprtree-master")

Something is wrong in text.tree.RD at line 41. What I did propably isn't the most perfect solution, but it works.

You can download the package as a .zip and unzip it. Then remove everything after line 39 in ./man/text.tree.RD . Afterwards you can install the package like this:

library(devtools)
if(!('reprtree' %in% installed.packages())){
    install_local('path_to_extracted_zip/reprtree-master/')
}
