[R-sig-ME] Problem installing glmmTMB

[Ben Bolker]

   Yes.  A few comments:

1.

remotes::install_github("glmmTMB/glmmTMB/glmmTMB")

is a little bit better (the 'remotes' package has fewer dependencies, 
and this version uses plain quotes rather than "fancy" quotes (“”) which 
are likely to confuse R.

2. glmmTMB has been *temporarily* removed from CRAN, which would explain 
why you can't install it even for the latest version of R - we've 
submitted a new version and hope it will be restored soon (fingers 
crossed), although it will take a few more days for the Windows & MacOS 
binaries to be restored even if it gets back today

3. In order to install from source you will need to have development 
tools (compilers etc.) installed. We might be able to provide binaries 
(see http://glmmtmb.github.io/glmmTMB/ ), but almost certainly not for 
older versions of R ...

   cheers
