devtools::install_github('DavidPatShuiFong/[email protected]') Downloading GitHub repo DavidPatShuiFong/[email protected] Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = method, quiet = quiet, : download from 'https://api.github.com/repos/DavidPatShuiFong/DTedit/tarball/2.2.3' failed I can't install any version packages of "DavidPatShuiFong/DTedit". Is there any problem for tarball? what's the tarball?

The tarball is just a directory name, in this instance. It is referring to a bundled collection of files, similar to 'zip'.

It very much sounds like something is wrong your network/Internet access, or perhaps your devtools package installation. Or perhaps github was malfunctioning at the time.
