Using USABoundaries

Question

I'm trying to use the USABoundaries package to draw maps and am having trouble downloading UsaBoundariesData. When I enter something like this

library(USAboundaries)

OH_cong <- us_congressional(states = "OH", resolution = "high")

I get this error message:

The USAboundariesData package needs to be installed.
Install the USAboundariesData package?

Selection: Yes

  Please try installing the package for yourself using the following command:

If anyone has any useful info that would be much appreciated!

Try this instead:

devtools::install_github("ropensci/USAboundariesData")
