Novice with R - Please Help

[creosc]

Hello, I please need help getting started. It seems like R is the recommended path and I am following all instructions from the Statsbomb R ppt and the https://github.com/statsbomb/StatsBombR link. From what I can tell, the only issue I am having is with the StatsbombR package portion. Below is the error message I receive. Do I have to click on any of the packages previously downloaded in order to download this - such devtools? as Any advice will help greatly.

I have same issue. :(

[RobWHickman]

(not part of the Statsbomb team) error seems to be because you have a space in your PC Username ('C:/Users/USER Surface/...") which R can't parse.

You could try

install.packages("StatsBombR", lib = "C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-VERSION.NUMBER.NUMBER\\library")

(or change the user name on your PC)

@RobWHickman Thank you for the solve! It appeared to have been the user/folder name which is harder to change that it ought to be. Now I just have to figure out how to properly work R and the Statsbomb info. If you have any additional insight that isnt already posted by the Statsbomb team, that would be excellent. Thank you for the huge huge help!!

@EkremBayar I created a new user account/user folder without spaces by following below https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026923/windows-10-create-a-local-user-or-administrator-account. It is a bit convoluted but at least it works.

My pc username seems normal. I solved the problem with this code.

Sys.setenv(R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS="true") devtools::install_github("statsbomb/StatsBombR")

I am having a problem too. Done all the install.packages stuff, but still getting this:

Downloading GitHub repo statsbomb/StatsBombR@HEAD Error: Failed to install 'StatsBombR' from GitHub: Git does not seem to be installed on your system.

What it could be? :(

I have been resolved this issue, with Installing Git first like this solution: https://github.com/Russel88/MicEco/issues/6
