I want to install gganimate, but as I work behind a firewall in a corporate setting, install_github is not an option as it returns:
install_github("dgrtwo/gganimate")
Error in curl::curl_fetch_disk(url, x$path, handle = handle) :
Couldn't resolve host nam
I have tried to install it mannually, but the result I get is:
install.packages("C:/Users/stefanj/Downloads/gganimate.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/stefanj/Documents/R/win-library/3.3’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
cannot open compressed file 'gganimate/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory'
Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection
I found a work-around for a different library (rCharts):
library(downloader)
download("https://github.com/ramnathv/rCharts/archive/master.tar.gz", "rCharts.tar.gz")
install.packages("rCharts.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
But I can't find the tar.gz file for gganimate. I only have a zip file. Anyone knows how I can install source from a zip or where I can find the actuall tar.gz file for gganimate?
I have tried
install.packages("gganimate.zip", repos = NULL, type = "source")
but it failed.

I downloaded ramnathv-slidify-4260813.zip and copied it into C:/Users//Documents/R/win-library/3.5
On Windows 7 64bit machine
In Rstudio with Admin privileges I ran this:
install.packages("~/R/win-library/3.5/ramnathv-slidify-4260813.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users//Documents/R/win-library/3.5’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
cannot open compressed file 'ramnathv-slidify-4260813/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory'
Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection
How can I bypass the Error message above and install 'slidify' successfully on my machine?
thank you
Managed to install by first downloading 'slidify' and 'slidifyLibraries' gz files and then running: *install.packages("C:/Users/<...>/Downloads/ramnathv-slidify-v0.3.3-154-g1dd41a3.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
install.packages("C:/Users/<...>/Downloads/slidifyLibraries-master.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary") commands in RStudio
Alternatively, in RStudio this can be done via GUI: click Packages > Install Packages > in Install Packages window select Install from: package archive ... > then Browse to the location you downloaded your file to > click Install.
Thanks

I installed R 2.11.1 and am running java 1.7.0
I downloaded the rJava source file rJava_0.8-8.zip from
http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.11/
and ran install.packages("rJava_0.8-8.zip",repos=NULL,type="source") in R from the directory containing the file. But I am getting the following lines as error:
Warning in install.packages("rJava_0.8-8.zip", repos = NULL, type = "source") :
argument 'lib' is missing: using 'C:\Users\Shiladitya\Documents/R/win64-library/2.11'
Error in get(name, envir = asNamespace(pkg), inherits = FALSE) :

Warning message:
In install.packages("rJava_0.8-8.zip", repos = NULL, type = "source") :

I'm being unable to install rJava the usual way by doing
install.packages('rJava', .libPaths()[1], repos="http://cran.us.r-project.org")
since that is leading to an error message like this:
Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/windows64/contrib/2.11
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :

Please help!
