This might work
source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("devtools") # only if devtools not yet installed
devtools::install_github('RSkittleBrewer', 'alyssafrazee')
biocLite("jtleek/genstats",ref="gh-pages")

That worked for me, ray1919. Thanks for your help!

thanks @ray1919, I just manage it (R.3.4.4 in Ubuntu 18.04) with a slight modification of your answer

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("devtools") # only if devtools not yet installed
devtools::install_github('alyssafrazee/RSkittleBrewer')
biocLite("jtleek/genstats",ref="gh-pages")

Update for March 2020:
(with devtools already present):

devtools::install_github('RSkittleBrewer', 'alyssafrazee')
BiocManager::install("jtleek/genstats",ref="gh-pages")
