devtools::install_github("teramonagi/fitbitr") throws an error

Error in read.dcf(path) : Found continuation line starting ' person("Nagi", "Te ...' at begin of record.

The first result of my quick Google search suggests it has something to do with the DESCRIPTION file in the repo: https://github.com/r-lib/devtools/issues/1900

when I try to install fitbitr using the command install.packages("fitbitr")

It gives error "package ‘fitbitr’ is not available (for R version 3.6.3)"

Any help is appreciated

Version of R studio 1.2.5033

@Gayathri-Nagarajan the package is not available on CRAN and thusinstall.packages("fitbitr") will not run.

For packages like this that are hosted on GitHub, you'll need to install the devtools package and then use it's install_github function as follows:

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("teramonagi/fitbitr")
