I am experiencing a hard time in installing the blotter and quantstrat packages from Github. Most helps I can find online are quite outdated issued back then when they are hosted on sourceforge. I try to use the install_github() function and it returns error below. (In fact there is similar error when I try R-Forge) Can anyone provide a clue on what is happening here?
