Cannot launch R package in Linux

[EricRLucas]

I tried to install the R package in Linux following the instructions:

devtools::install_github(
"diyabc/diyabcGUI",
subdir = "R-pkg"
)
library(diyabcGUI)
diyabcGUI::dl_all_latest_bin()

These commands all completed without error.

I then tried to launch the GUI with

library(diyabcGUI)
diyabcGUI::diyabc()

I get the following output:

INFO [2024-06-26 16:02:49] log file: /tmp/Rtmp6AL1QT/diyabc_rf_gui.log

Thanks

Hi, I am really sorry for the very late reply.

Due to work overload, the development, support and maintenance for the project diyabcGUI is currently paused. Feel free to contact us (by submitting an issue) if you want to take over the development for this project. Pull request are also welcome to fix bug or implement missing functionalities.

I have updated the README file to announce this. This is the official announcement to clarify a situation that has been going on for quite some time.

You can still use the command line version of the software which is still maintained/supported. Check the documentation page here.

All my apologies for the trouble,
Best regards
