I am making my first submission to Plos One and am trying to install the extrafonts
package to obtain Arial for the figures. "extrafonts" was archived at the end
of last month so I downloaded first the extrafont_0.16.tar.gz file and then the older
extrafont_0.15.tar.gz file.
Those are not zip files. You need to use (at the command line)
R CMD INSTALL extrafont_0.16.tar.gz
(assuming you have already installed the dependencies).
However, I suggest you use R 3.1.0 alpha which has support for Arial
built in.
I selected "Install packages(s) from local zip file" from the Packages menu of
my installation of R x64 3.0.0
I got:
utils:::menuInstallLocal()
Error in read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) :
cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In unzip(zipname, exdir = dest) : error 1 in extracting from zip file
2: In read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) :
cannot open compressed file 'extrafont_0.15.tar.gz/DESCRIPTION', probable
reason 'No such file or directory'
When I unzip these gz files using Winzip I do find a DESCRIPTION file.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Robin
