I just installed from source from that repository into an R 3.2.5 library. (I first needed to reinstall that version since I had moved to 3.3.0. Admittedly I was doing this on a Mac but since the package does not require any C/Fortran level compiling, my experience should mimic that of a Linux user using a source package.
