<p><span>After resisting this for way too long, I’ve finally decided it was time to release more widely a couple of the R packages I’ve been working on $-$ I’ve put them on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/giabaio">GitHub</a>, hence the mug…</span><br><span><br></span><span>In both cases, while I think the packages do work nicely, I am still not sure they are ready for an official release on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://cran.r-project.org/">CRAN</a> $-$ effectively, this is mainly due to the fact that documentation may not be super yet, or, more importantly, that I’m still updating some of the basic functions a bit too often.</span><br><span><br></span><span>I knew GitHub was the way to go, but like a grumpy old man I’ve so far resisted the idea of learning how to manage it. However, because people I wanted to test <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://gianlubaio.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/i-will-survive.html">survHE</a> were struggling to install it (because of its complicated system of dependencies $-$ I’ll say a bit more later), I thought this will be a very good alternative. </span><br><span><br>So, I’ve created Git repositories for <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/giabaio/survHE">survHE</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/giabaio/SWSamp">SWSamp</a> (I’ve talked about this <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://gianlubaio.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/more-on-stepped-wedge.html">here</a>) and the packages can be installed by using <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/devtools/index.html">devtools</a> in R $-$ I think something like this:</span><br><span><br></span><span>install.package(“devtools”)</span><br><span>install_github(“giabaio/survHE”)</span><br><span>install_github(“giabaio/SWSamp”)</span><br><span><br></span><span>I <b>think</b> devtools may fail to install all the dependencies’ dependencies under Windows (as far as I understand <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/hadley/devtools/issues/1370">this is a bug that will be fixed soon</a>) $-$ so the workaround is to use the development version of devtools. Or indulge R and install the missing packages that it requires.</span></p>
