I am working with the R programming language.
I would like to download this library from github : https://github.com/Datactuariat/Rpostal
I entered the following code in R:
# install from github
devtools::install_github("datactuariat/Rpostal")
library(Rpostal)
After this, I tried one of the demo commands:
# Postal Expand
postal_expand("Quatre vignt douze Ave des Champs-Élysées")
But I get the following error:
Loading required package: jsonlite
Error in system(req, intern = TRUE) :
'~/libpostal/src/libpostal' not found
I have a feeling that this is because I did not install the "libpostal C libraries" - but no instructions are provided for doing this in a Windows Environment (I am using Windows).
Can someone please show me what I am doing wrong and how I can fix this problem?
Thanks!
