Dependency 'bold' not available

[Lothyrden]

Hi,

Im trying to install PrimerMiner in R version 4.1.3. by following the YouTube tutorial but I keep getting the same error:

ERROR: dependency 'bold' is not available for package 'PrimerMiner'

• removing 'C:/Users/Louise/Documents/R/win-library/4.1/PrimerMiner'
  Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘PrimerMiner’ had non-zero exit status

RTools is downloaded with the corect version, so I don't know what Im supposed to do to fix this.

Any clue to solve this issue?

The bold package has been removed from cran and hence can not be installed directly via the command install.packages as description found here states.
It can however be installed directly from the source code hosted here on github using the devtools package.

library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("ropensci/bold")
install.packages(c("XML", "rentrez", "seqinr"), dependencies=T)
install.packages("PrimerMiner", repos = NULL, type="source", dependencies=T)

The package has been updated and moved from ropensci/bold to BOLDconnectR. So my comment above is no longer valid
