Hi there,
I am also having similar issues on my end when trying to install the package
I get the error message below.

Hello everyone,
the package can be installed by

library("devtools")
install_github("andreasmock/MetaboDiff")

I have recently updated the package, please let me know if your errors remain,
Kind regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
I am also having trouble installing the package.
I have installed WGCNA, devtools, as well as G0.db using

install.packages("WGCNA")
install.packages("devtools")
install.packages("G0.db")

Then loaded them using
library()
for each of them.

Then when I use
install_github("andreasmock/MetaboDiff")

I get the a list of warnings that look something like this:

Warning in load(zfile, envir = tmp_env) :
input string '3-carbamoyl-1-[(2R,3R,4S,5R)-3,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-yl]-1λ⁵-pyridin-1-ylium' cannot be translated to UTF-8, is it valid in 'CP1252'?

Followed by all of the below:

Can I get your help on this?

Thank you,

Installing XQuartz fixed the issue for me.

Thanks @raphDL! I am getting the exact same issue as Arianna, running R 4.0.3 on Mac OS, I tried installing and updating XQuartz and still getting the same issue. Did you do anything else to get it to work?

I was geeting the same error as Ariannasacelis.
I had to update my purrr and dplyr packages and it worked.
