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("rgplates")
If for some reason, the installlation from CRAN fails, you might need to look into alternative methods.
From GitHub
You can install the package from source directly from GitHub using the [devtools](https://cran.r-project.org/package=devtools)
package. All you need is install devtools
and then run the this line of code:
devtools::install_github("adamkocsis/rgplates")
From Zenodo
For the sake of completeness and simplicity, the sources of the stable version is also deposited on Zenodo. The install.packages()
function can be used to install this from source (although you might have install dependencies of the package. )
install.packages(
"https://zenodo.org/record/10614722/files/rgplates_0.4.0.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.
Development version from GitHub
The simples way to install the in-development version is via the devtools
package. You just have to indicate that you want to install from the in-development devel
branch.
devtools::install_github("adamkocsis/rgplates@devel")
Manual installation
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 rgplates
directory should be visible from there.
3. Run this line in the terminal
R CMD INSTALL rgplates
-
If you see an error suggesting that
R
is not found, you have to add it to yourPATH
environmental variable.
- If the R packages that
rgplates
depend on are not installed, you have to install them manually, or you will get an error. - You can also use
devtools
to install the development version with:
