Problem with MODIS package installation

[bholst505]

Hi,

I am trying to download and use the MODIS package but run into the following error when loading the package into an R session with the library() command:

library(MODIS)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘MODIS’:
.onAttach failed in attachNamespace() for 'MODIS', details:
call: parse(ifelse(file.exists(optfile), optfile, tmpopt))
error: C:\Users\BRADY'~1\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpKkWxHh/.MODIS_Opts.R:16:18: unexpected symbol
15: # Default output location for MODIS package processing results.
16: outDirPath <- 'C
^

The traceback is as follows:

traceback()
6: stop(msg, call. = FALSE, domain = NA)
5: value[3L]
4: tryCatchOne(expr, names, parentenv, handlers[[1L]])
3: tryCatchList(expr, classes, parentenv, handlers)
2: tryCatch({
attr(package, "LibPath") <- which.lib.loc
ns <- loadNamespace(package, lib.loc)
env <- attachNamespace(ns, pos = pos, deps, exclude, include.only)
}, error = function(e) {
P <- if (!is.null(cc <- conditionCall(e)))
paste(" in", deparse(cc)[1L])
else ""
msg <- gettextf("package or namespace load failed for %s%s:\n %s",
sQuote(package), P, conditionMessage(e))
if (logical.return)
message(paste("Error:", msg), domain = NA)
else stop(msg, call. = FALSE, domain = NA)
})
1: library(MODIS)

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!
