install_github("riv","tomasgreif") Error in parse_repo_spec(repo) : Invalid git repo specification: 'riv'

Question

While trying to:

install_github("riv","tomasgreif")

I am getting the following error:

Error in parse_repo_spec(repo) : Invalid git repo specification: 'riv'

Answer 1

Use of install_github("riv","tomasgreif")seems to be deprecated. Try using following format

install_github('repo owner/repo name')

in your case

install_github('tomasgreif/riv')
