eiCompare error downloading from Github

[eddie-41]

I understand that eiCompare is no longer available on CRAN. Instead users are advised to download from GitHub. I have attempted to download eiCompare from github but am unable to do so. Below is the output.

remotes::install_github('RPVote/eiCompare')

I am not sure if this is an issue on my machine or not.

same here.. any solutions?

I ended up just downloading the most recent archived version (https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/eiCompare/) and in rstudio at the top "Tools" > "Install Packages..." and changing the "Install from:" setting to "Package Archive File (.zip; tar.gz)" and then selecting the archived version I downloaded.

Quicker version of the same idea:

remotes::install_version("eiCompare", version = "3.0.4")
