Hi all,

I'm getting the following error when installing packages from github:

devtools::install_github("https://github.com/CostaLab/CrossTalkeR", build_vignettes = TRUE)

dependency 'qpdf' is not available for package 'CrossTalkeR'

install qpdf before CrossTalkeR

Thank you!

The problem was resolved when qpdf was installed and set to 'build_vignettes = FALSE'.
