Discussion

R packages

Most workshops using R will require the installation of specific packages. Make sure to check in advance with the workshop organisers what packages need to be installed.

You can install packages from CRAN using:

R

install.packages("package_name")

If your package is in a different R repository, such as Bioconductor or GitHub, you may need the BiocManager or devtools packages to install them. To install BiocManager:

R

if (!require("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install()

For devtools, you can simply do:

R

install.packages("devtools")

You can then install packages directly from GitHub with:

R

devtools::install_github("username/reponame")
