Issue installing refdb package

[camrynbigelow]

When I try to install the package, I get the following error message:

Warning in install.packages :
package ‘refdb’ is not available for this version of R

It also appears to have been removed from CRAN

Is the package still available to download on R?

Yes, there are known issues with CRAN because the bold package is no longer available there. Hopefully, this will be fixed in the future.

In the meantime you can try to install refdb and the missing dependencies from github:

library(remotes)
install_github("ropensci/bold")
install_github("ropensci/taxize")
install_github("fkeck/refdb")
