Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = method, quiet = quiet, : Can not open URL'https://api.github.com/repos/jzsbioinfo/APRD/tarball/master'

I can not install package through devtools::install_github("jzsbioinfo/APRD").

My session info:

os Windows 10 x64
system x86_64, mingw32

Methods I have tried but doesn't work:
options(download.file.method = "libcurl") devtools::install_github("jzsbioinfo/APRD")

options(download.file.method = "wininet") devtools::install_github("jzsbioinfo/APRD")

I suspect this is a master vs. main problem (name of default branch), which suggests you should probably update the remotes package (which is what actually powers devtools::install_github()).

install.packages("remotes")

[jzsbioinfo]

I updated all related packages (devtools, remotes), then the problem solved. Thanks so much.

I've got the same issue. Tried install.packages("remotes") but that has not resolved it for me.

I updated all related packages (devtools, remotes), still got error:
