I am struggling to install a fix for the rNOMADS package which reads National Weather Service data. I copied the fix (rNOMADS_2.5.0.tar.gz) from an email to a local drive and then tried to install it with the command below. I also tried installing it without the .tar.gz extension and without the _2.5.0 extension but I get the same error message. The author, Daniel Bowman, emailed me that the fix should work for R version 4.0 or better.
Do I need to untar it? install.packages("C://Documents/Ballooning/WeatherBriefing/rNOMADS_2.5.0.tar.gz") Installing package into ‘C:/Users/Owner/Documents/R/win-library/4.0’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) Warning in install.packages : package ‘C://Documents/Ballooning/WeatherBriefing/rNOMADS_2.5.0.tar.gz’ is not available (for R version 4.0.2) [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
