@chris-prener when installing via

> install.packages("areal")

I'm getting:

ERROR: dependencies ‘lwgeom’, ‘sf’ are not available for package ‘areal’

The downloaded source packages are in
        ‘/tmp/RtmpBEpBpJ/downloaded_packages’

I realize this might be due to using R installed via conda. But on Ubuntu 18.04 I'm getting the same error(s) on a clean install of R from the official repositories:

* DONE (dplyr)

@sjsrey oh, I just noticed this issue is actually for the software associated with a submission, and that you opened it here: chris-prener/areal#17
