I wrote a little test package for R, located here: https://github.com/sho-87/Romdb/
I've been trying to use devtools install_github() to install the package but it complains that I dont have the stringi and curl packages installed:
Using github PAT from envvar GITHUB_PAT
Downloading GitHub repo sho-87/Romdb@master
Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ‘curl’
I have those packages listed in the description file: https://github.com/sho-87/Romdb/blob/master/DESCRIPTION
Is there a reason why R isn't automatically installing those packages to my system when I try to install the package from github?
When I manually install those dependencies (install.packages("curl")) I can install from Github no problem...
You need to have import statements in your Roxygen headers and NAMESPACE file. First, add @import statements to your Roxygen headers (for example, @import httr). If you are using RStudio, you can Ctrl-Shift-D to automatically update the NAMESPACE file.
