Installation issue on windows & closed issue from June 2022

[MonicaPala]

Hi,

I am trying to install EBImage on Windows 10 machine, R 4.2.2 following the Readme from GitHub:

install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("EBImage")

And i get a lot of warnings: Warning: unable to access index for repository https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.16/bioc/src/contrib: cannot open URL 'https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.16/bioc/src/contrib/PACKAGES'

... and finishes with:
Warning message: packages ‘BiocVersion’, ‘EBImage’ are not available for Bioconductor version '3.16'

I read the closed issue from June 2022 but i cannot say that i really understood how it was solved.

I tried: devtools::install_github('aoles/EBImage', dependencies=TRUE, force=TRUE)
with error: Downloading GitHub repo aoles/EBImage@HEAD Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = method, quiet = quiet, : cannot open URL 'https://api.github.com/repos/aoles/EBImage/tarball/HEAD'

And the variant: devtools::install_github('aoles/EBImage', dependencies=TRUE, force=TRUE, host="https://github.com")
with the error: Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub: JSON: EXPECTED value GOT N

Any help would be very much appreciated,
Monica
