1. Installation

Source: vignettes/installation.Rmd
installation.Rmd

Stable version from the CRAN

The stable version of the package is available on CRAN servers, which means that you can install it with the regular install.packages() function.

install.packages("rampage")

If for some reason, the installlation from CRAN fails, you might need to use an alternative method, such as devtools::install_github("adamkocsis/rampage@main")

Stable version from Zenodo (source)

For the sake of completeness and simplicity, the sources of the stable version are also available on GitHub. The install.packages() function can be used to install this from source - but you will have to install dependencies of the package.

install.packages(
    "https://zenodo.org/records/15847239/files/rampage_0.2.0.tar.gz?download=1", 
    repos=NULL, type="source")

Development version

If you encounter technical problems with the package that are not described anywhere, you might want to take a look at the development version.

If you wish to install the development version, I recommend a manual installation:
1. Clone the repository to your local hard drive.
2. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you cloned. The rampage directory should be visible from there.
3. Run this line in the terminal

R CMD INSTALL rampage
  • If you see an error suggesting that R is not found, you have to add it to your PATH environmental variable.
  • If the R packages that rampage depend on are not installed, you have to install them manually, or you will get an error.

If for some reason, the installlation from CRAN fails, you might need to use an alternative method, such as devtools::install_github("adamkocsis/rampage@devel")
