When I ran the code:
%let apploc=/myfilepath/app/fileuploader;
filename mc url "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sasjs/fileuploader/master/stream.sas";
%inc mc;

The error pops up:

39913 +package.loaded["ml_gsubfile"] = nil
39914 +endsubmit;
39915 +run;

Hi - thanks for checking out the fileuploader! This issue can occur when running earlier versions of SAS (eg 9.4m3 or viya 3.4 if I recall correctly) that don't have the LUA capabilities to run this macro: https://core.sasjs.io/ml__gsubfile_8sas_source.html

It can also happen with LOCKDOWN enabled. It's because the io package isn't available to your lua runtime.

What kind of file are you loading? If it's Excel or CSV you could also consider https://datacontroller.io (free and source available)
