Warning: package ‘fiabd’ is not available for this version of R

I received an error when trying to download FIA data from your database but receive the following message:

install.packages("fiabd")
Installing package into ‘/home/lefsky/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.1’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘fiabd’ is not available for this version of R

A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
see the ideas at

When I run with the postgis=FALSE option, it appears to work but then I get the message:

! https://apps.fs.usda.gov/fia/datamart/CSV/MN_tree.zip is not available to download at the moment

I've appended my version information. Can you tell me how to resolve this question? If I need to switch R version, which should I install?

Hi @mlefsky 👋

I received an error when trying to download FIA data from your database but receive the following message:

install.packages("fiabd")
Installing package into ‘/home/lefsky/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.1’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

fiadb is the python package that I built to create the PostGIS database from the FIA datamart CSVs, so it is not something that can be installed in R.

When I run with the postgis=FALSE option, it appears to work but then I get the message:

! https://apps.fs.usda.gov/fia/datamart/CSV/MN_tree.zip is not available to download at the moment

I assume this was a temporary outage on the FIA datamart - when I try clicking the link to download that file it seems to work.

I have worked through the changes required to get tidyFIA up-to-date with recent versions of its dependencies in this PR: #26. I will release it into the wild soon, but if you could try it out and let me know if the functions work for you that would be great!

You can install it like this:

remotes::install_github("ncx-co/tidyFIA", ref = "updates-20240226")
