package dependencies not being installed

[Aaron Harmer]

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me out. I have written a package (pathtrackr) and pushed it to github. It relies on several other packages which I listed under Imports in the DESCRIPTION file, but when the package is installed it is not installing the other packages it relies on. Even if these are individually installed with install.packages(), when I call my package with library(), it does not load those packages even though they are installed.

I was able to get it to work by changing Imports to Depends, but from what I understand this is not best practice. Is there a better way to fix this or perhaps I am missing something from my DESCRIPTION or NAMESPACE file?

Thanks in advance for any help.
