Failed to install a package. Error: System command error, exit status: -1, stdout + stderr empty,

Question

I've tried to install a package for almost 2 days but installation has not been working by now. I tried a lot of different ways like

install.packages("NIADic_0.0.1.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")

then Warning in install.packages: installation of package 'NIADic_0.0.1.tar.gz' had non-zero exit status

and

devtools::install_local('C://Users/pogr1/Desktop/NIADic_0.0.1.tar.gz', force = TRUE) 

then Error: Failed to install 'NIADic' from local: System command error, exit status: -1, stdout + stderr empty

install.packages("https://github.com/haven-jeon/NIADic/releases/download/0.0.1/NIADic_0.0.1.tar.gz",
                 lib = .libPaths()[1], repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")

then cannot open compressed file 'NIADic_0.0.1.tar.gz/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory' Error in install.packages: cannot open the connection

and even I reinstalled R, rstudio, and Rtools but still not working

Although this is a bit old... The package needs RTools for compilation, but then it needs pandoc , package data.table etc. to build vignettes. If you want to proceed easily only with package itself without docs, it should work to have RTools installed and then run:

devtools::install_github('haven-jeon/NIADic/NIADic', build_vignettes = FALSE)
