Install tidywearable from tidywearable.org

Copy and paste the below code in your console.

source("https://www.tidywearable.org/tidywearable-packages/install_tidywearable.txt")
install_tidywearable(from = "tidywearable.org")

You can also use this method to install one specific package. For example, if you only want to install metID.

install_tidywearable(from = "tidywearable.org", which_package = "metid")

Demo video is bellow:

If above code doesn’t work, try to change the method argument.

  1. “auto”

  2. “internal”

  3. “libcurl”

  4. “wget”

  5. “curl”

Install tidywearable from GitHub

Copy and paste the below code in your console.

if(!require(remotes)){
  install.packages("remotes")
}
remotes::install_github("tidywearable/tidywearable", dependencies = TRUE)

Some issues

  1. During the installation, it will ask if you want to update some packages for few times, just enter Enter or Return key to skip it.

  2. If there is a error like below:

Error: Failed to install ’tidywearable’ from GitHub: HTTP error 403. API rate limit exceeded for 171.66.10.237. (But here’s the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)

Try to resolve it by:

  • In you R console, type this code:
if(!require(usethis)){
  install.packages("usethis")
}
usethis::create_github_token()

It will open a page in browser, and create a “New personal access token” and copy it.

  • Then type this code:
usethis::edit_r_environ()

and then add one line like below:

GITHUB_PAT=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

The GITHUB_PAT should be yours that is created in step 1.

And then restart R session and try again.
