Unable to install!

[NMarkgraf]

If you want to install yartyou need rather something like

devtools::install_github("sebastiansauer/yart", build_vignettes = TRUE)

than

devtools::install("yart", build_vignettes = TRUE)

No matter how I try:
devtools::install_github("sebastiansauer/yart")
or
devtools::install_github("sebastiansauer/yart", build_vignettes = TRUE)
download execution is halted with:

Any ideas how to deal with this?

Hm, I cannot reproduce the error:

Installing package into ‘/Users/sebastiansaueruser/Rlibs’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
* installing *source* package ‘yart’ ...
** R
** inst
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
** help

** testing if installed package can be loaded
* DONE (yart)

Could you please provide your sessionInfo()?
