qiime2R unable to access index for repository when downloading

[kwoodruff (Kelly Woodruff)]

I am trying to utilize qiime2R in RStudio (version 2024.04.1+748).

I first did the following:
install.packages("qiime2R)

But I get this error error:
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘qiime2R’ is not available for this version of R

I then did the following:
install.packages('remotes')
library(remotes)
remotes::install_github('jbisanz/qiime2R')

I then received the following errors and was unable to download qiime2R. I also tried this with older versions of RStudio with the same result.

Any help getting this resolved would be greatly appreciated.

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?

Thanks!
Kelly

Hi @kwoodruff,
Check out this r - Warning in install.packages: unable to access index for repository - Stack Overflow

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.
