Sparklyr: ERROR: dependency 'config' is not available for package 'sparklyr'

Hi
I am facing in trouble in installing sparklyr package. I've followed installation steps as guided on tutorial page. I have installed devtools package successfully, but the next step throws error. Don't know where am I missing. Any help?

The downloaded binary packages are in

devtools::install_github("rstudio/sparklyr")
Downloading GitHub repo rstudio/sparklyr@master
from URL https://api.github.com/repos/rstudio/sparklyr/zipball/master

It looks like you're using MRO, which I'm guessing is also checkpointed to a CRAN release that does not have the config package available.

You'll have to manually install config yourself from https://cran.r-project.org/package=config. Or switch yourself to using the RStudio CRAN mirror, with e.g.

options(repos = c(CRAN = "https://cran.rstudio.com"))

Or, try installing config manually, with e.g. install.packages("config") -- maybe that will work out of the box.

Hi Kevin
It worked. Thanks you so much!
To install config package I had to explicitly mention the repository address: install.packages("config",repos="http://cran.us.r-project.org")

Great to hear, thanks!
