Unable to install selbal

[AlejandroSaborio]

I am trying to install selbal using devtools::install_github(repo = "UVic-omics/selbal"); however I got this error:
Error in read.dcf(path) :
Found continuation line starting ' doParallel, ...' at begin of record.
How do I solve it?
Thanks in advance

There seems to be a bug in devtools right now. See r-lib/devtools#1900

It also seems to only be affecting windows users. I successfully installed the package on a linux system but the same command failed on windows.

You can get around this bug by cloning the github repository, then using the command "devtools::install_local('PATH_TO_WHERE_YOU_CLONED')"
