R package installation which is removed from CRAN

Question

I need to install RODBCext package, but this package is removed from cran. So I downloaded the package locally from its archive folder. I tried to install using the below command

install.packages("RODBCext.tar.gz",REPOS=NULL, type="SOURCE")

but the installations is throwing an error

"r installation of package had non-zero exit status"

how to avoid this issue and install the package?

Answer 1

The easier way to install your package is install from github:

pacman::p_load(devtools)
devtools::install_github('zozlak/RODBCext')
library(RODBCext)

Here is code. Try this;)
