Download issues for Windows

[JVMair]

Hi,

I wanted to install the readme 2 package but I encountered an issue during download. I am unsure whether the issue is on my side, or it is the code that is not modified for windows?
When I attempt to download the package as described (devtools::install_github("iqss-research/readme-software/readme") I get the error message below. I think the issue at hand might be caused by the emoji used in code line 49 of the readme2_helper_fxns.R document, and the inability of windows to translate this symbol?

If not do you have any other suggestions on how I might fix the error?

Thank you in advance.

Error message:
devtools::install_github("iqss-research/readme-software/readme")

Error : (konverteret fra advarsel) unable to re-encode 'readme2_helper_fxns.R' line 49

Hello - Thank you for your message. Great question; I don't have immediate access to a Windows machine to trouble shoot this but should be able to get access by mid-week. Thank you for letting us know about this and we should have a solution soon. - Connor

Hello, Thank you again for your message. The Github repository for the readme software has been updated and this issue (we believe) has been fixed. We also now have tensorflow 2.0 capabilities. Let us know if you have any questions or comments, and thank you very much for reaching out, Connor On Mon, Nov 11, 2019 at 10:53 AM Connor Jerzak <[email protected]> wrote:
