I'm trying to run this piece of code from a Github read.me file
## Install
```{r,eval=FALSE}
#install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github('jeff324/powder',build_vignettes = TRUE)
```
However. I keep getting this error message back in the console:
Downloading GitHub repo jeff324/powder#HEAD

Does anyone know what might be happening?
First thing I do when I get these types of errors is to Restart R. Go to Session -> Restart R. If that doesn't work, try opening a brand new session in R Studio. I was just able to install this package. So fundamentally, it is working.

It also looks like this dplyr package is no longer in my User Library.
Please help! Other installation of packages seem to be working fine. I have no idea what's going on because I have always had no issues with this package until today and I desperately need this for my final next week.
Thanks!
All of what i'm posting here is provinient on the link, post here for resume:
install.packages("Rcpp", dependencies = TRUE, INSTALL_opts = '--no-lock')
Why this happens ?
This happens when your last package installation has interrupted abnormally. to fix this you should remove the locked file. For example Execute this command in R console:
unlink("/home/me/src/Rlibs/00LOCK-Rcpp", recursive = TRUE)
R install.packages returns "failed to create lock directory"
I'm new to R and I'm just trying to get through some tutorials.

Steps
Go To Tools
Install Packages
In Packages Text Box Type ggplot2
Check the checkbox install dependencies
When having this issue I would suggest :
try turning it off and on again
update R to last version if possible
remove manually all the folders related to the relevant package and retry the installation
change your default library location : How do you change library location in R?
Try launching R client directly from command prompt, then issue the instruction:
install.packages("ggplot2", lib="C:/Users/YourUser/Documents/R/win-library/3.3")
You need to update your R version and do this but you'll need install all packages again:
Tool > Global Options > R version (CHANGE) > Select "Use your machine's default version of R..."

Still, the "non-zero exit status" appeared. Do you have any suggestions?
I am using Windows 7 (64 bit), R 3.4.1 and RStudio 1.0.153
I think i found a temporary answer for my problem. I previously had problems related to the privilege in writing the library folder in R. Tried to work around by turning off anti-virus live update, change the security of the R folder, etc. I thought it was worked, since I did not find anymore issues on "unable to move temporary installation....". But when I restart my computer, the problem came again.
Since I am working in a university provided laptop, I need to wait until the IT grants me access as an admin. While waiting for it, I created a new library in C:/ (in my case, I named it as "R library local"). Downloaded all the package to that library
install.packages("plm", dependencies = TRUE, lib = "C:/R library local")
And load the package from the library
library("plm", lib="C:/R library local")
It works well :)
Dunno if I still need the admin access for the library in R folder or not.
I'm having problems installing the package car in R.
There are previous posts on the topic, including this one and this other one.
I have followed the suggestions I've come across so far without success. I am using R Version 3.2.2. and RStudio.
This is the message I get:

I tried installing it from R with Install packages from local zip drives, and looking for the zip in C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmpc3xr5i\downloaded_packages, but this is the result:

In addition: Warning message:

I did try installing SparseM even before posting the OP without success:

Follow up:
After a comment regarding R version 3.2.3 I thought it would be an easy fix to just download this version, install, and erase 3.2.2. The problem then is that RStudio did not seem to work. I un-installed and re-installed R-studio, and now I get this when opening R studio:
Without knowing what version of the car package you're using, it's hard to know exactly what the source of the problem is. It seems likely, however, that you haven't installed the proper version of the pbkrtest, on which the Rcmdr package depends.
Is there a compelling reason not to upgrade everything to their current versions, including R, all packages, and RStudio?
Best,
John
I am trying to install Devtools into Rstudio. I was using Rgui, but decided to use Rstudio becuase it seems to be easier. I able to get DevTools on Rgui, but not RStudio.
Basicly. the library on Rstudio does not have DEVtools installed and I am having problems. Any ideas?
I tried the install.packages("devtools") states it is install in y computer, but does not show in the library. I tried GitHub. did not wok either.
