How to install RGoogleDocs from GitHub?

I see that on GitHub there is a new version of RGoogleDocs. This is version 0.6-0. https://github.com/duncantl/RGoogleDocs .

How to install it in a 64-bit version of R? Previously, Duncan Temple Lang pointed me to a zip file containing a Windows binary. I downloaded it and ran this command to install it

install.packages("C:/Users/Farrel/Dropbox/RGoogleDocs_0.5-0.zip",repos=NULL)

If you have Rtools installed, you can use the devtools package and its install_github to install packages directly from github .

In this particular package, you can click on the button with the ZIP name located to the left of the git URL to download the zip file. Then unzip it to the working directory. Or you can use TortoiseGit to clone the code into a local directory.

Then you can use install.packages with type='source' .

 install.packages("duncantl-RGoogleDocs-0e3879c/", type='source', repos=NULL)

But, in general, it would be nice to learn how to create packages.

See R in the Windows Frequently Asked Questions section for installing packages from a source.
