Download and Installation¶

Download¶

The latest stable release of dowser can be downloaded from CRAN or GitHub.

Installing Released Versions¶

The simplest method is to use Bioconductor’s install function, which will install Bioconductor dependencies:

install.packages("BiocManager")

BiocManager::install("dowser")

You can also install dowser via CRAN, but Bioconductor dependencies may not install:

install.packages("dowser")

Downloaded source builds from GitHub may be installed in the usual way:

install.packages("dowser_x.y.z.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")

If you have any trouble installing the package, it may be due to the Bioconductor dependencies. You can run the following command to see what other packages may be needed:

available.packages()["dowser", "Imports"]

Try checking error messages and installing any failed dependencies individually. You may need to upgrade to the latest version of R. If you have questions, you can email the Immcantation Group.

You can also check Posit Public Package Manager to identify and install missing dependencies.

Building Development Versions¶

To build from the source code, first install the build dependencies:

install.packages(c("devtools", "roxygen2", "testthat", "knitr", "rmarkdown", "Rcpp"))

To install the latest development code via devtools:

library(devtools)
install_github("immcantation/dowser@master")

Note, using install_github will not build the documentation. To generate the documentation, clone the repository and build as normal using devtools, roxygen and knitr:

library(devtools)
install_deps()
document()
build()
install()
