System dependencies are installed as needed, you need to declare them in the SystemRequirements field of your package.

That said, I suggest you try https://github.com/r-hub/rhub2 instead.

Thanks for your reply, but mmm..the Description file does contain the following line SystemRequirements: JAGS So not clear why it cannot find it? Carl

This issue is about the previous R-hub system, it does not apply to the new system, so I am closing it now. Please see https://r-hub.github.io/rhub/ for the new system, R-hub v2.
