devtools installed, unable still to install tess3r package?

[konradtaube]

Hi all,

I'm very keen to try out this software package, but am coming to an issue that I think has been addressed before. I've already gotten devtools installed, so it seems like there is some silly mistake I've made and I'm wondering if others have made it also. You can see the console output below, where devtools is able to do something, but it's not letting me actually install the tess3r package. Any ideas of what I can do?

hi,

perhaps an explanation here:

https://community.rstudio.com/t/package-build-missing-separator-error/72058

Rstudio might create a weird character '@' in Makevars (windows). One option might be to git clone the package, build the sources locally, and then install from the sources.
