Install tidymicrobiome
Copy and paste the below code in your console.
if(!require(remotes)){
  install.packages("remotes")
}
remotes::install_github("tidymicrobiome/tidymicrobiome", dependencies = TRUE)
Some issues
- 
During the installation, it will ask if you want to update some packages for few times, just enter
EnterorReurnkey to skip it. - 
If there is a error like below:
 
Error: Failed to install ’tidymass’ from GitHub: HTTP error 403. API rate limit exceeded for 171.66.10.237. (But here’s the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)
Try to resolve it by:
- In you R console, type this code:
 
if(!require(usethis)){
  install.packages("usethis")
}
usethis::create_github_token()
It will open a page in browser, and create a “New personal access token” and copy it.

- Then type this code:
 
usethis::edit_r_environ()
and then add one line like below:
GITHUB_PAT=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
The GITHUB_PAT should be yours that is created in step 1.
And then restart R session and try again.
