Has anyone else tried to load the RQuantLib package for R 3.5.0?

I tried (which has worked before):

install.packages("drat", dependencies = TRUE)
drat::addRepo("ghrr")
install.packages("RQuantLib", type = "binary")

but get the error message:

Warning: unable to access index for repository https://ghrr.github.io/drat/bin/windows/contrib/3.5:

cannot open URL 'https://ghrr.github.io/drat/bin/windows/contrib/3.5/PACKAGES' Warning message: package ‘RQuantLib’ is not available (for R version 3.5.0)

Someone would need to build it first. - Dirk Eddelbuettel
I'm not sure if its right, but I don't explicitly type it in. I'm doing the procedure listed in the RQuantLib github page: github.com/eddelbuettel/rquantlib, which says to type in the 3 lines I listed above. - LeeAnn
Is there a way that I can help with that, or very nicely and politely ask..."pretty-please".... - LeeAnn

You can try this:

library(devtools)
install_github("eddelbuettel/rquantlib")

Or equivalently (based on comment by Dirk Eddelbuette)

install.packages("RQuantLib", type="source")
