Not being able to install biom

[ThiagoRBM]

Dear Joey,

Until yesterday, Tax4Fun was running ok in my R (v. 5.1). I had to install dada2... and now Tax4Fun doesn't work anymore. My R started complainig that I don't have the biom package. But I can't install it, even using devtools. I get the following error: Error in parse_repo_spec(repo) : Invalid git repo specification: 'biom'

What can I do to solve this?

Thanks,
Thiago

Maybe you already solve your problem but here's a solution (@cfsancas):

I installed it with: install_github("joey711/biom")

I found it here: https://github.com/joey711/biom/issues/30

It worked smoothly when R told me: "Error in parse_repo_spec(repo) : Invalid git repo specification: 'biom'" and "package ‘biom’ is not available (for R version 3.6.3)"

Did not worked for me in April 22, neither install_github("joey711/biom") nor devtools::install_github("joey711/biom")
