[R] tikzDevice not available

[Yihui Xie]

I think it will come back again in the future. The maintainer is busy
at the moment: https://github.com/Sharpie/RTikZDevice/commit/95069e0a1deeb8fb9db028bbb76f227ddfcdc559#commitcomment-1562437

For now, the easiest way to install it is probably via R-Forge:

install.packages("tikzDevice", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

Or just download the tarball from CRAN and R CMD INSTALL it.

Regards,
Yihui
