Hi,
can you fix the following error when installing eikonapir package:
devtools::install_github("philaris/eikonapir")
Error in read.dcf(path) :
Found continuation line starting ' Panagiotis Cheilar ...' at begin of record.
Hello @tta
It seems to be the R/RTools issue. Did you try the solution that found in other R community? (such as this post or this post)
@tta
I can install it properly.

I am using R version 3.6.3 (64bit) and devtools 2.3.2.
What are the versions of R and devtools that you are using?
Thanks for responding. My version for R and devtools is 3.5 and 2.0.1, respectively.
I tried installing RTools, but it said that it was not available for R 3.5.
Thanks,
THT
