install.packages("drat", repos="https://cran.rstudio.com")
drat:::addRepo("dmlc")
install.packages("xgboost", repos="http://dmlc.ml/drat/", type="source")

Important Due to the usage of submodule, install_github is no longer support to install the latest version of R package. For up-to-date version, please install from github. Windows user will need to install RTools first.
