library(BayesianTools)

Installing the development version from GitHub

If you want to install our development version from GitHub, use

devtools::install_github(repo = "florianhartig/BayesianTools", subdir = "BayesianTools", dependencies = T, build_vignettes = T)

New developments will be done in extra branches and will be tested before merging in the developtment branch, so the developmet version should usually be usable (consider it in a beta stage), while feature branches should be considered alpha.

Status master development branch

  • GH Action R-CMD-check

Windows users: the package contains c++ code, so if you compile yourself, you need RTools installed.

Older releases

To install a specific (older) release or a branch, decide for the version number / branch that you want to install in https://github.com/florianhartig/BayesianTools/releases (version numbering corresponds to CRAN, but there may be smaller releases that were not pushed to CRAN) and run, e.g.

devtools::install_github(repo = "florianhartig/BayesianTools", subdir = "BayesianTools", ref = "v0.0.10", dependencies = T, build_vignettes = T)

with v0.0.10 replaced by the appropriate version number or branch.

Getting help

We highly welcome questions by users, so don't be shy - any questions, even if it feels "stupid", helps us to understand how we can improve the interface, documentation, or code of the package.

If you want to ask a question or report a bug, the most convenient way for us would be to provide a reproducible example via the GitHub issues
