Installation
eesyapi is not currently available on CRAN. For the time being you can install the development version from GitHub.
If you are using renv in your project (recommended):
renv::install("dfe-analytical-services/eesyapi")Otherwise:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("dfe-analytical-services/eesyapi")Potential errors when installing
For internal DfE users, if you get ERROR [curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 401], and don’t know why, try running Sys.unsetenv("GITHUB_PAT") to temporarily clear your GitHub PAT variable.
Then try to install again.
If this works, then you will need to look for where that “GITHUB_PAT” variable is being set from and remove it to permanently fix the issue, contact us for support if you need help with this or have any other issues installing.
