error when installing destiny

[liuweihanty]

Hi There! I used "BiocManager::install("destiny")" command to install destiny but the following error message appeared, do you know what is the issue? Thanks very much! (I've also attached my Rsession info at the end for reference)

Error message:

It seems that the creators of destiny aren't actively maintaining the Bioconductor distribution anymore...

I've had more success installing it this way:

remotes::install_github("theislab/destiny")

Was able to successfully install URD after that (tho i havent tested the functions just yet).
