Good morning.

I'm having an error trying to use ExperimentHub. Helpful advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

The point of including sessionInfo() is to show the version of R and Bioconductor packages. You're having a problem with ExperimentHub but have omitted the portion of the output that shows the version of that package.

From the error message I'm guessing you have an old version of ExperimentHub. Neither the current release version (1.0.0) or devel (1.1.0) use port 3000 anymore (e.g., 'http://experimenthub.bioconductor.org:3000/metadata/experimenthub.sqlite3’) . Please update the package and try again. If you still have problems show the full output of sessionInfo().
