I see. If the repo is public (as is the aforementioned repo), do you still expect this error?

The following code successfully installs the package: ``` remotes::install_git("https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/annalectnz/rianna") ```

I have the same problem. Using Win 7 64x, rstudio 0.98.507, r 3.1.0 ``` > newGitbook("GitBook") Usage: npm where is one of: add-user, adduser, apihelp, author, bin, bugs, c, cache,...

Just got a hint why it happens in [this thread](https://github.com/ropensci/drake/issues/345) It's potentially solvable with wrapping the artifact before hashing with a function. See [note here](https://github.com/ropensci/drake/issues/345#issuecomment-399571383)
