install.packages("SpatialPosition_2.0.1.tar.gz",repos=NULL,type="source")
options(unzip='internal')
library(SpatialPosition)

Error in library(SpatialPosition): there is no package called ‘SpatialPosition’
Traceback:
1. library(SpatialPosition)
2. stop(txt, domain = NA)**

I tried lot possible combination given here , but still getting same error all time .hope i will get appropriate solution from you guys which can run successfully .Thanks

Answer 1

This installation procedure (which does not attempt to get or unzip a gz) was successful. If you try this from a fresh R session and it still does not work, perhaps try an earlier version of R (this is on 3.6.3). I can confirm that the package is available from github and not corrupted:

> install.packages("remotes")
> library(remotes)
> remotes::install_github("Groupe-ElementR/SpatialPosition")
Downloading GitHub repo Groupe-ElementR/SpatialPosition@master
These packages have more recent versions available.
It is recommended to update all of them.
Which would you like to update?

1: All                                
2: CRAN packages only                 
3: None                               
4: Rcpp      (1.0.3 -> 1.0.4.6) [CRAN]
5: rlang     (0.4.5 -> 0.4.6  ) [CRAN]
6: withr     (2.1.2 -> 2.2.0  ) [CRAN]
7: pkgbuild  (1.0.6 -> 1.0.8  ) [CRAN]
8: backports (1.1.5 -> 1.1.6  ) [CRAN]
9: ps        (1.3.2 -> 1.3.3  ) [CRAN]

Enter one or more numbers, or an empty line to skip updates:
