I am trying to install a package from github in R, however I am getting the following error:
> install_github("jmp75/rClr", build_vignettes=TRUE)
Downloading github repo jmp75/rClr@master
Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) :
Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates
I have set the RCurl options as such:
options(RCurlOptions = c(getOption("RCurlOptions"), ssl.verifypeer = FALSE, ssl.verifyhost = FALSE ) )
After checking the setting:
getOption("RCurlOptions")
we see....
$cainfo
[1] "C:/_CODE/R/Library/RCurl/etc/ca-bundle.crt"
$ssl.verifypeer
[1] FALSE
$ssl.verifyhost
[1] FALSE
Still I get the error:
Downloading github repo jmp75/rClr@master
Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) :
Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates
any clues
Answer
Does this work? I had to change this bit of code recently from ssl.verifypeer to ssl_verifypeer
library(httr)
set_config(config(ssl_verifypeer = 0L))
see here devtools::install_github() - Ignore SSL cert verification failure
