Error while using install_github | devtools | timeout issue


I'm facing this issue when i try to download and install a package from git-hub using devtools.

R Version : 3.1.3 (64 bit)

> install_github("hadley/httr")
Downloading github repo hadley/httr@master
Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) : 
  Timeout was reached

> traceback()
13: .Call(R_curl_fetch_memory, url, handle)
12: curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle)
11: request_fetch.write_memory(req$output, req$url, handle)
10: request_fetch(req$output, req$url, handle)
9: request_perform(req, hu$handle$handle)
8: httr::HEAD(src_submodules, , auth)
7: github_has_remotes(x, auth)

5: remote_download(remote, quiet = quiet)
4: FUN(X[[1L]], ...)
3: vapply(remotes, install_remote, ..., FUN.VALUE = logical(1))
2: install_remotes(remotes, ...)
1: install_github("hadley/httr")

Edits:

I am using Revolution R Enterprise 7.4 with a Rstudio client.


Solution

  • The issue is resolved. The issue was resolved when I set this option prior to install_github command.
