Add rCharts to packrat

Question

I am working on an R project (R studio) that requires several packages and packrat to manage them. I have been able to find CRAN or binaries for all of them except rCharts which has to be installed with:

   require(devtools)
   install_github('rCharts', 'ramnathv')

This method of installation does not seem to work at all with packrat.

Since this project needs to be easily setup/run on a variety of computers, packrat seems like it is the only solution to keep the required packages in order for this project.

How can I make rCharts work with packrat so that the user does not have to manually install rCharts?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

You could download the source code from github and make a binary yourself. — Roman Luštrik, Sep 23 '14 at 20:18
@RomanLuštrik How can I make a binary from the github code? Also, how can I force packrat to use this binary instead of trying to install from github? — Ryan, Oct 07 '14 at 18:13

Packrat provides a special function to install packages from github.

packrat::install_github("ramnathv/rCharts")
