Issue with initializing session

[laurinis]

Hello,

I am trying to reproduce the Lighting data demo (http://rpubs.com/jlehtoma/210761)

but command init_session(API_KEY) returns,

Error: could not find function "init_session"

(I am running this on R Studio 1.0.136 , OS X 10.12.2 and R 3.3.2.)

I had some problems with ogr2ogr and gdal but manage to solve those issues thank to the help from previous issues described here :

OSGeo/PROJ#351
rOpenGov/fmi#6

This is actually an issue with fmi package, not rwfs. The division of functionality between the packages is confusing, so I can certainly understand the confusion.

Previously init_session() was still not merged to the master branch and hence not available unless fmi was installed from a different branch. However, this has now been fixed in fmi release 0.2.0. Try installing fmi again by:

devtools::install_github("ropengov/fmi")

Let me know if the lightning data demo doesn't work for you for some reason.

Note also, that on Mac you can avoid using ogr2ogr completely by installing the development version of rwfs:

devtools::install_github("ropengov/fmi", ref = "develop")

This should be enough, as using ogr2ogr is disabled by default (it's still available, though).

No recent updates here so I'm closing the issue for now.
