Error installing FigR

[acaulier]

Hello,

I am trying to install FigR on my virtual machine (Terra) that uses R v4.3.2, either with devtools::install_github("buenrostrolab/FigR") or remotes::install_github("buenrostrolab/FigR") and i get those warnings that eventually prevent from installing the package:

Skipping 5 packages not available: ComplexHeatmap, chromVAR, GenomicRanges, SummarizedExperiment, motifmatchr

As a result i get the final warning Warning message in i.p(...): “installation of package ‘/tmp/RtmpgcRhRG/file981ee96699/FigR_0.1.0.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status” and i cannot then import Library(FigR)

Any tips to troubleshoot it and get it work?

Thanks,

Hmm, that's a bit strange. Sometimes it won't automatically install package dependencies that are from a source other than CRAN (e.g. Bioconductor / Github).

Can you first check whether you have those packages prompted at the top, and if not, install those packages first:

For chromVAR (should also install GenomicRanges / SummarizedExperiment):
BiocManager::install("chromVAR")

motifmatchr:
BiocManager::install("motifmatchr")

ComplexHeatmap:
BiocManager::install("ComplexHeatmap")

And try re-installing FigR again, after you can confirm you're able to load the above packages fine?
