Hi @michbur

Thank you so much for this great suggestion!

I tried this command an get the following error:

Error in file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) : 
  cannot open the connection to 'https://install-github.me/HajkD/metablastr'
In addition: Warning message:
In file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) :
  URL 'https://install-github.me/HajkD/metablastr': status was 'Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates'

On which system do you run this command? Do you know why this certificate auth error might occur?

Many thanks and best wishes,
Hajk

I tested this under Win10 and Ubuntu, it was working like a charm. I find odd that R cannot open the connection, because the address https://install-github.me/HajkD/metablastr seems to work properly.

Can you do:

 readLines("https://install-github.me/HajkD/metablastr")

If not, your firewall might be a source of the problem. Then it can be solved using:

library(httr)
set_config(config(ssl_verifypeer = 0L))
