4 years ago In order to install geneorama/geneorama through a recent installation of RStudio, I installed a package called "gitinstall":
install.packages("githubinstall")
Once that's installed, I was able to use this syntax to install geneorama:
_devtools::install_github("geneorama/geneorama")_
geneorama

4 years ago @wsrizal @aginensky apologies, I didn't understand the issue Sunday.
@aginensky did you get it to install?
I didn't think RTools was necessary for devtools, but I don't remember.
@wsrizal Thanks for the info on the githubinstall library, I'm definitely using this in the future. Has a much smaller footprint than devtools

4 years ago @gene- As per my comments, I did get it to open and I was able to play with the data.
To install devtools, I needed to upgrade to a newer version of R. Fine- done and done. However when I went to install geneorama/geneorama , it demanded the Rtools package. I got the message Rtools is not available for R 3.6.01 (or whatever the current version might be). I was able to download Rtools directly (and not via install.packages). Might it make sense to create a checkpoint for the project ? Or maybe a docker container ?
