Installing Quantstrat Issues. I am running the latest versions of R, RStudio, and Rtools. I have installed devtools / remotes packages and cannot seem to get quantstrat installed. enter image description here

Answer 1

I had similar problems too. Installing quantstrat via cmd works well for me. Here are the steps:

1. Create a folder for packages i.e RPackages\
2. Download the file from github to that specific folder and extract the files to the library name. i.e RPackages\quantstrat\
3. go on command line and goto RPackages
4. Type" R CMD build quantstrat
5. If it was successful, you will get a message like "building 'package_name_version_number.tar.gz'"
6. Now type: R CMD INSTALL package_name_version_number.tar.gz

Let me know if you have any other challenges.
