I made an unwise choice in version 1.2 of emmeans, by putting brms in Imports. That has the effect of expanding the dependencies in emmeans to over 100 other packages. I have rectified that in the latest github version, which depends on many fewer other packages and won’t create such an installation nightmare (I hope).

A new version 1.2.1 has been submitted to CRAN but so far it has not been accepted. It’s not clear if it will or won’t because if the short time since the previous version.

New information.

When installing "brms", I get the error

-> ERROR: dependency ‘shinystan’ is not available for package ‘brms’

Do you know whether shinystan is available?

Subject: It's hours I am trying to install emmeans

Hi there,

As said above, I am trying to install emmeans since a few hours. I am in Ubuntu 18.04.

I have attempted different approaches, but it's always the same: the package starts downloading and it gets slower and slower, until my machine becomes unusable, and the installation keeps running - probably it get stuck in a loop; maybe I just have to wait, I don't understand.

Sure is that right now I have tried to install a dependency alone, to break down the installation process into more achievable steps, and I am installing the "shinystan" package, which, great news, has just finished after 10 minutes by saying that had non-zero exit status.

Now I will continue installing some dependencies, but if you were aware why it takes so long, it would be nice to know if there is any problem.

Whenever you get a message saying something "finished with non-zero exit
status", that means something went wrong, and almost certainly the software
is not properly installed. Without more information about the specific
error messages, there is little we can do to help. I suggest you try a
site like https://askubuntu.com/ for general help with installing software
for Ubuntu... this email list is more focused on how to perform mixed
effects analysis, not how to install the packages.

As far as general advice when faced with problems like this, the first step
is to read the messages in the terminal. Buried in there will often be a
clue to what is going wrong, like "no space left on disk", "permission
denied", or "prerequisite not available".

Emmeans 1.2.1 is now on its way to CRAN and it’s mirrors. It should be a lot easier to install.
