Just a note for those installing admixr on R4.1.1: progress is needed

[thierrygrange]

Dear all

Just a note for those using R4.1.1 on Ubuntu 22.04, the command
install.packages("admixr")
fails because the package vroom cannot be installed
You need to install first the package progress and then it will work
The installation instructions should thus be modified to
install.packages("progress")
install.packages("admixr")
Enjoy this very useful package

Hello, thanks for the heads up.

admixr doesn’t directly depend on vroom, so I suspect this is a misspecified dependency of one of the tidyverse packages that admixr does depend on. Usually the tidyverse team fixes those problem quickly. If they don’t, then I will implement a solution myself.

A small update to admixr on CRAN is in the works anyway, so I can take a closer look as part of that.
