install_github() error

I can't currently install the package. I get the following error:

remotes::install_github("cmu-delphi/delphi-epidata-r")

Thanks for the report! This package is alpha and still has some build problems; I don't think we've even attempted to install using remotes yet.

Hm, unable to reproduce on my Ubuntu machine, remotes installs fine.

[dajmcdon]

I don't "need" it necessarily, but it's currently imported by Ryan's epiprocess. Maybe he has a different version on his machine (I'll check).

This may have been fixed by #14 -- would you try again?

[dajmcdon]

Yup! Works now. A got a few warnings that I'll paste here in case its useful for testing, but otherwise it's good.
