Error on Installation.

[jlhanson5]

Hello GitHub colleagues,

I tried to install clusterBMA, but ran into an issue with a dependency (namely clusterCrit).

Here's my rundown of steps... 1) Failure with clusterCrit

> devtools::install_github("of2/clusterBMA")
Downloading GitHub repo of2/clusterBMA@HEAD
Skipping 1 packages not available: clusterCrit

2) clusterCrit not being on cran

3) The dev/cran archive of clusterCrit not installing

Thanks in advance, Jamie.

Thanks for raising this issue @jlhanson5 - I will work on a fix and get back to you.

Hi @jlhanson5 just checking if an installation option for clusterCrit ended up working for you? Sorry that this fell off my radar during a busy period.

[jlhanson5]

I forget how I ultimately solved it... but I think installed clusterCrit from source, etc. [If I reconstruct what I did from my notes, I will add more details here]

OK great, thank you so much
