RPHAST is an R interface to the PHAST software package. It contains much of the functionality of phast within a highly-developed statistical programming environment, and is easy and fun to use.
To install the latest version of the package directly from github using the devtools package, use the command in R:
devtools::install_github("CshlSiepelLab/RPHAST")The RPHAST package source code can be downloaded here - rphast_1.6.11.tar.gz
RPHAST can be installed from source code using the command in R:
install.packages("rphast_1.6.11.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")The package source can also be installed from the command line on non-Windows platforms using the command:
R CMD INSTALL rphast_1.6.tar.gz *NOTE: If you do not have administrator privileges, you may need to specify a directory where the package will be stored. This can be done with the "library" argument to install.packages, or by using R CMD INSTALL --library=/path/to/library on the command line.
