Install packages from GitHub #16

Closed brooklynbagel closed 6 years ago

brooklynbagel commented 7 years ago

Not all packages are available on CRAN or BioConductor. Most of these are accessible from GitHub although there are other supposed sources such as BitBucket as well. I was thinking of adding an additional R package installation script and associated task and variable to install from these other sources.

Seems like a nice addition. I would be happy to merge it.

But installation of these packages might be a bit more complicated as install_github depends on devtools and devtools depends on some Debian packages.

brooklynbagel commented 7 years ago

That's true and a fair point - I was thinking it since it would be optional to use any additional dependencies could be added to the README as optional but required if you want that functionality.

Feel free to give it a try and see how that works out.

Sorry about the delay. I've got a proposed solution #17
