install.packages("shazam") does not work

[AJ Lab]

when using the install method from the CRAN repository, it ends with the following and ultimately doesn’t end up installing the package.

ERROR: dependencies ‘Biostrings’, ‘GenomicAlignments’, ‘IRanges’ are not available for package ‘alakazam’
* removing ‘/home/ubuntu/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/alakazam’
Warning in install.packages :

Could you try first installing alakazam to see if that works? That seems to be the package that isn’t installing. You may need to install Biostrings, GenomicAlignments, and IRanges manually, though I’m not sure why these wouldn’t work with the current setup. This might be an issue with R/3.6, so it may be worth upgrading to the most recent version of R.

Have you been able to install the package?
