problem in installing kissDE

Question

[majeedaasim]

I need to install kissDE on my system. My system info is under,

R version 3.4.2 (2017-09-28) 
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)

Running under:

Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

I tried the following command in Rstudio

install.packages("kissDE_x.y.z.tar.gz",repos=NULL, type="source")

Following error is shown:

>  Installing package into ‘/home/aasim/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’
>
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
>
> Warning: invalid package ‘kissDE_x.y.z.tar.gz’
>
> Error: ERROR: no packages specified
>
> Warning in install.packages :
>
>
> installation of package ‘kissDE_x.y.z.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

When I run the command

install.packages("kissDE")

following error is shown

> Installing package into ‘/home/aasim/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’
> (as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
> Warning in install.packages :
> 
package ‘kissDE’ is not available (for R version 3.4.2)

I try the following link also http://kissplice.prabi.fr/tools/kissDE/ but it not working. When I click on

kissDE version 1.5.0 (2017-05-12)

It takes me to a new page which asks user name and password.

install.packages("kissDE_x.y.z.tar.gz",repos=NULL, type="source") did you replace x.y.z by the correct version ?? like 1.5.0 ?

[majeedaasim]

yes, but it shows the same error

Are you running the install.packages command in the directory where you download the kissDE tar.gz file ?
