Update install instructions #152

Closed raphaeltamaki closed 1 year ago

raphaeltamaki commented 1 year ago

Updated install instructions mainly because of LowRankQP, which was failed because Microsoft stopped their support to CRAN. Added instruction on how to install LowRankQP using devtools::install_version and a solution in case people face problems when installing because of the lack of gfortran

Removing LowRankQP and Synth installation instructions as they are not required packages anymore. They were previously required for the augsynth package, but not anymore since this last commit: https://github.com/ebenmichael/augsynth/commit/7f8fef789f40e9554f782d9b7e61cfc4d60817e8

@raphaeltamaki added the changes to knitr in this PR https://github.com/facebookincubator/GeoLift/pull/155. Aside from importing it in the description, you probably need to declare it explictly in imports.R, along with the fns you will be using.
