Hello. When researching my error I did come accross this post and I followed the steps for downloading via github. However from the error above it is saying "unable to access index for repository". Are there any suggestions for resolving this?
I think what you are seeing might stem from some Firewall restrictions? If you are at a university, you may have to loop in your IT staff for help with this issue!
Hello. I will look into this with IT however I have successfully used qiime2R in the past. I spoke with an individual at another institution who has tried using it within the last few months and was encountering this same issue.
What operating system are you using? I ask because I see "windows" in the url in the error message. What instructions did you follow? I'm able to install qiime2R following the instructions on the software's GitHub on an M-series Mac as of today.
Thanks for the response! I'm on Windows 11 and was sent .qza files to by a mac qiime2 user. I'm trying to install with the following code from the github:
if (!requireNamespace("devtools", quietly = TRUE)){install.packages("devtools")}
devtools::install_github("jbisanz/qiime2R")
I am no longer getting the 404 error but am still unable to access the packages. The current errors read like the one below:
Yes, I did and have unchecked the 'secure download method' option. It did not help. I have also uninstalled and re-installed R and R studio and attempted to scour the forums before posting.
One thing I haven't tried is using a different computer, which I can trial this evening.
I want to report that I have solved the issue. Changing computers did not alter the results, I was still getting 'unable to access index for repository' errors.
I made a list of all of the dependencies that were inaccessible and sought out installers for each. With all dependencies installed the qiime2r installation was able to complete.
