Uploading files from local computer or web in rstudio cloud I am using RStudio Cloud for running velocyto R package. So I have tried to import velocyto file from http://pklab.med.harvard.edu/velocyto/mouseBM/SCG71.loom

I tried to upload that like so



But saying 

&gt; SCG71 &lt;- read.table("/cloud/project/SCG71.loom", header=TRUE, quote="\"")
Error in make.names(col.names, unique = TRUE) : 
  invalid multibyte string at '&lt;89&gt;HDF'
In addition: There were 19 warnings (use warnings() to see them)


Can you help me in very initial of velocyto R?
This seems to be an encoding problem (certain characters not being recognized), see this, this and also this. Probably the file "/cloud/project/SCG71.loom" is encoded with a format that is not included in your "locale".

Check the output of Sys.getlocale() and see if your input file's encoding is listed. If not, you will need to try something like Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE", "en_US.UTF-8") or Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL", "English") (see the third link for details).
