Differentiating between the two admixr packages #46

Closed s-usr closed 3 years ago

s-usr commented 5 years ago

There are two admixr packages; yours based on AdmixTools (Harvard) and the Sikora's based on Admixture (UCLA). When insalling, one will overwrite the other. Is that correct? Is there a way to avoid this?

This issue has been open for so long with no progress that I feel it's best to close it.

If someone runs into this problem (I am not sure how widely used the admixr-ADMIXTURE package is, given that it hasn't been updated for 6 years), it is possible to install both packages by:

  1. Installing this admixr package (the ADMIXTOOLS version) as you normally would.
  2. Running git clone https://github.com/martinsikora/admixr to download the ADMIXTURE package anywhere on your computer that's convenient for you.
  3. Manually editing the DESCRIPTION file in the downloaded copy to some other name (such as 'ADMIXTURE', for instance).
  4. Running devtools::install("path to the downloaded copy") will install the ADMIXTURE package under the modified name.
  5. Running 
    library(admixr)
library(ADMIXTURE)

    will load both packages without any issue.
