How to manually install rChart?

Question

I can't install rChart from Rstudio due to some firewall settings in my company computer, so I wonder if I can install it manually. I know it is possible to do that by using install.packages, but it seems the installation was not successful. Here is what I did:

1. download the master file from https://github.com/ramnathv/rCharts
2. used the following code to install:

   install.packages('\rCharts-master.zip',destdir = "/R/win-library/3.2",repos = NULL)

3. load the package library(rCharts-master) and resulted in the following error message:

   Error in library(rCharts - master) : 'package' must be of length 1

Answer 1

rChart is a package on GitHub, try

install.packages("devtools")

library(devtools)

install_github('ramnathv/rCharts')

library(rCharts)

It should work.

Answer 2

The name of the package you're trying to load is "rCharts", and not "rCharts-master". Try

library(rCharts)
