I cannot install the readtext package, and I have tried two ways:

when trying 'install.packages (readtext)' a message is displayed saying that this is not available for R version 3.3.3
When trying to install it from github through devtools, it shows up the following message:

ERROR: dependency 'stringi' is not available for package 'readtext' * removing [readtext from my library] Error: Command failed (1)

This is weird because the stringr package is installed...

Thanks

`stringi` is not `stringr` – J_F Apr 24 '17 at 11:51
What is the output of this command `"stringi" %in% rownames(installed.packages())` ? – Marco Sandri Apr 24 '17 at 11:52

`readtext` is not in the CRAN repository (yet), so `install.packages()` wont work. What is the command you used with `devtools`? Which repository of CRAN are you using? – ricoderks Apr 24 '17 at 12:04
@MarcoSandri it is [1] TRUE – Ria Apr 24 '17 at 12:18
Are you using the following command for installation ?`devtools::install_github("kbenoit/readtext")` – Marco Sandri Apr 24 '17 at 12:28
Yes! It worked later on. but then it still didn't recognise some of the functions such as corpus... – Ria Apr 25 '17 at 13:36
As far as I can see the package `readtext` doesn't contain a function called `corpus`! – ricoderks Apr 26 '17 at 06:12
