You don’t need devtools. Just the regular cran install. This is a super old conversation so don’t expect the recommendations given here to be current🙂

Huh odd, because I installed it originally through CRAN, but now when I call on the library it gives me:
"Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘gganimate’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
there is no package called ‘progress’
In addition: Warning message:
package ‘gganimate’ was built under R version 3.4.4 "
