Hi All,

I am trying to install mouse4302.db annotation package. I get a syntax error (see below). I tried installing using the tar.gz package too, but had the same result. Can anyone provide me a workaround for this issue?

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
+     install.packages("BiocManager")
> 
> BiocManager::install("mouse4302.db")

Thanks again for all the help in advance.

R is not going to like installing a source package into a directory with an apostrophe in it. Plus I wouldn't personally put my R library dir in a OneDrive folder. I normally use the default windows dir of C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/R/win-library, which has no spaces nor other problematic punctuation.
