If I don't clone in a seprate directory upon tryial to install it errors out.
Two steps:

git clone "https://github.com/statgen/Rprs.git"

R CMD INSTALL Rprs -l ./

Error

Any clues? I'm on debian, R4.0

Are you behind a proxy? If so, see pfultz2/cget#77.

Yes, I'm behind proxy and http, https are already set to circumvent proxy firewalls.

Which one of the above two methods is good for installation?

[jonathonl]

I'm not sure which "two methods" you are referring to. In any case, is the http_proxy environment variable set when when you run the install? See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3168171/how-can-i-open-a-website-with-urllib-via-proxy-in-python. This package uses a python script that uses urllib to install dependencies. These dependency downloads are failing due to a quirk with urllib and HTTP proxies.

I've following two lines in my .bashrc file

export http_proxy="some value"
export https_proxy="some more value"

I'm referring to the following two methods, sorry I wasn't clear in my first post:

method 1

git clone "https://github.com/statgen/Rprs.git"

R CMD INSTALL Rprs -l ./

method 2: a two step process

a) download
git clone "https://github.com/statgen/Rprs.git"

b) Go to the library you'd like to install
cd r_lib_folder
R CMD INSTALL ../Rprs -l ./

folder ../Rprs is one level above the r_lib_folder directory.

best,
