I know this is a recurrent issue. However, going through all the hits when I google still has not helped me solve the issue. I hope someone can help: Her is what I do: 1: I run 

install.packages('devtools')
library(devtools)

This appears to run all right. At least I do not get any error messages.

2: then I do:

install_github('vqv/ggbiplot', force=TRUE)

Then the errors messages comes:

install_github('vqv/ggbiplot', force=TRUE) Downloading GitHub repo vqv/ggbiplot@master √ checking for file 'C:\Users\jada\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpgvAEpK\remotes28461c455b1\vqv-ggbiplot-7325e88/DESCRIPTION' ... - preparing 'ggbiplot': √ checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... - checking for LF line-endings in source and make files and shell scripts - checking for empty or unneeded directories - looking to see if a 'data/datalist' file should be added - building 'ggbiplot_0.55.tar.gz'

If anyone could sort me out here, I would be very happy. Thank you.

I suggest you to go in the path of the library in your computer (should be c:/Users/jada/Documents/R/win-library/3.6/) and delete the ggbiplot folder. After this, redo the installation process. In this way you remove every possible problem conflict.

If this doesn't work out try also to delete ggbiplot_0.55.tar.gz in the Temp folder as suggested in the error.

  • Thanks for your getting back. However, none of these files/folders were present on my computer. – SigneMaten Feb 20 '20 at 07:23
  • Ok I try reading again the error status. Maybe the error is the the ggplot2 library as here `Error: (converted from warning) package 'ggplot2' `. So try delete ggplot2 (instead of ggbiplot) library folder directly in the path C:/Users/jada/Documents/R/win-library/3.6/ggplot2, then try reinstall the two packages – Andrea Ierardi Feb 20 '20 at 11:16
  • No, that did not make any difference. Looks like the return is pretty much the same: – SigneMaten Feb 20 '20 at 15:15

I know it is an old question, but I have found a solution in here, and just in case the link does not work, here is the possible solution:

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("vqv/ggbiplot")
