r - Unable to install 'rstats-db/bigrquery' from ipython notebook -

i'm trying query google big query r ipython notebook. i'm following post here:

https://cloud.google.com/blog/big-data/2017/04/google-cloud-platform-for-data-scientists-using-r-with-google-bigquery

it breaks when run line:

devtools::install_github("rstats-db/bigrquery", force = true) 

the full error message isn't clear me, i'll paste below. when run interactive r environment this:

sh: /usr/bin/gnutar: no such file or directory sh: /usr/bin/gnutar: no such file or directory installation failed: error in running command trying url 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/readr_1.1.1.tar.gz' content type 'application/x-gzip' length 233793 bytes (228 kb) ================================================== downloaded 228 kb 

it seems unable unpack files.

i've tried installing gnutar brew, error still occurs.

how can passed error?

from traceback it's hard tell happened. try using official release instead of development one.

try using command instead:

install.packages("bigrquery") 

as can see in official release, support uselegacysql has been implemented.
