For R version 3.6 and above, you cannot install flowcore and biobase using the normal way (you need biocmanager). I've updated this and changed a couple of typo in comments.

# BiocManager is used to provide compatibility for flowCore for R version 3.6 and above.

As far as I can see, this change might break backwards-compatibility with older versions of R.

@tomashhurst Would you accept a pull request with an if statement that checks for the R version and then either uses the current code (R < 3.6) or the code @ghar1821 suggested for higher R versions?

That certainly would! There might be some issues with the Bioconductor end of things, but we can certainly try that out.
