Hi SKem,

Thanks for contacting us. I need to ask a few questions to help you.

1. Do you use Windows, Linux or MacOS?
2. Has the configurator been opened automatically? If no, please do it first and specify paths to the folders, where R and its library located.
3. Do those paths coloured green after installing the required packages? If no, please provide the screenshot.
4. Open FishResp in cmd.exe (Windows) or Terminal (Linux, MacOS) and provide a text or a screenshot of an appeared error.

Best wishes,

Sergey

Hi Sergey,

thank you for your very quick answer!!

1. I am using Windows
2. and 3. Sorry for the question, but what configurator and paths do you mean?
   but I downloaded FishResp in the same folder where R is located

4. So far I wasn't able to open FishResp in cmd.exe I'll do so tomorrow

Cheers SKem

Hi SKem,

Then, the problem is definitely with a configurator. Typically, it is opened automatically after FishResp installation. But, it is not sometimes, like in your case. I will fix it in future.

What you need to do now:

1. open the file "configurator.exe" (C:/Program Files/FishResp/)
2. assign paths to R and R library there
3. check, are they green coloured? If yes, click install, wait several minutes (it is installing required R packages). When the button "install" is green, click the button "Save" and open FishResp.
4. if it does not work, open both Configurator and FishResp via cmd.exe and send me error messages.

Best wishes,

Sergey

Good evening. I am having the same problem as SKem, except that configurator.exe won't open neither. How can I solve this problem? Thanks.

Dear Lucia,

The problem is that the current version of FishRespGUI does not support R version 4.0 or higher. We will work on the improved version in the future. But for now, this bug can be easily fixed using the following pipeline:

1. Uninstall R 4.0.3 and install R version 3.6 or older. Alternatively, you might use anotherr 64-bit computer with R < 4.0 or install R < 4.0 there from scratch.
2. Then, install at least one R package to create an R library on Windows for it. To do so, please run the following command in R3.6 or older:
   install.packages(“acc”)
   R will ask you to create a new personal library, click yes and then yes again.
3. open FishRespConfigurator.jar, specify the paths to R3.6.x and R/win-library/3.6.x (see the attached screenshot). Press the button “Install”. Wait several minutes, as many R-packages will be installed in your library. When everything is ready,  the button “Save" should be activated (become yellow), press it. The configurator window should be closed automatically.
4. run FishRespGUI and enjoy respirometry analysis in a user-friendly interface 🙂

If that does not help, let’s set up a brief Zoom session with a shared screen.
Please, let me know about the results.

Best wishes,
Sergey
