"edmr" cannot be installed

[jiangye201315]

(1)I want to install the "edmr" package, and executed the following command, but returned some errors: > install_github("edmr", username = "ShengLi",build_vignettes=FALSE) Error in parse_repo_spec(repo) : Invalid git repo specification: 'edmr'

(2)So ,I found some similar problems on the web page and have executed these same commands as the following. Unfortunately, it was not installed successfully. >install_github("ShengLi/edmr", build_vignettes=FALSE) `Downloading GitHub repo ShengLi/edmr@master Skipping 3 packages not available: GenomicRanges, IRanges, S4Vectors WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages, but is not currently installed.

(3)Then, I also try to download this .zip file from the URL https://api.github.com/repos/ShengLi/edmr/zipball/master, and installed it locally. Yes, the installation still failed. As the following: Warning in install.packages : cannot open compressed file 'ShengLi-edmr-v0.6.2-59-g98e454f/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory' Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection

What should I do? Thanks a lot for any help.
