Installing Quantstrat in a recently updated R in Fedora Linux

Question

I have updated my Fedora Distribution recently, and R was updated too. I re installed most of the packages, but I couuldnt install blotter and quantstrat.

How can I solve this issue? Thank you!

The error I get is the following one:

install.packages("quantstrat", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

Warning in install.packages : package ‘quantstrat’ is not available (for R version 3.4.0)

My sessioninfo is the folowing:

> sessionInfo()

R version 3.4.0 (2017-04-21) Platform: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu (64-bit) Running under: Fedora 25 (Twenty Five)

This doesn't help, but see discussion on Fedora devel mailing list — by policy, the update to 3.4.0 shouldn't have gone into Fedora 25 (and arguably not into Fedora 26 at this stage), but we didn't notice until it went out. — mattdm

@mattdm if you're a developer on this package, is there any chance you could make .tar.gz files of quantstrat and blotter old versions available for download? R-Forge has .zip files for Windows but no option to download .tar.gz — jogall

Your problem likely isn't an issue related to Fedora linux. Install quantstrat from souce via github, where the latest code resides:

library(devtools) # need devtools to use install_github
install_github("braverock/quantstrat")

For single line command in Docker file I use: RUN R -e "require(devtools); install_github('braverock/blotter')"

Thank you very much!! I have successfully intalled it! Both in my Fedora and in W10 notebook.

I installed a weeks ago. I had to wait for the new TS package to be available on cran, since blotter required it.

Thank you very much!
