Googlepredictionapi package in R studio

When I try to install the googlepredictionapi_0.1.tar.gz package in R it says:

Installing package into ‘C:/Users/xxx/Documents/R/win-library/3.1’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
* installing *source* package 'googlepredictionapi' ...

4: package ‘gplots’ was built under R version 3.1.3

I used the following code as given on the google site:

install.packages("googlepredictionapi_0.1.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")

Even if i go to Tool --> Install Package --> Browse--> select package, its throwing the same error.

I am using the latest R-studio version

Is there any workaround for this?

Solution

  • I have just created a github repo with files from the archive: https://github.com/byapparov/googlepredictionapi

    You can install it with devtools:

    devtools:install_github("byapparov/googlepredictionapi")

    But package itself seems to be obsolete, so possibly not very useful in its current state.
