Installation

0. General Requirements

ABSEIR requires a recent version of 64 bit R (>=3.3), in addition to several R packages. The following packages are prerequisites:

• Rcpp
• RcppEigen

It also requires a recent C++ compiler which supports C++ 11. This is now shipped in Rtools for Windows, and by default on most Linux distributions. RStudio should be able to take care of installing RTools for you, if you're on a Windows machine.

There have been some reports of installation difficulties with the version of Clang++ bundled on OSX machines; if you have access to such a machine, we would appreciate your feedback on the installation process.

The R-package prerequisites can be installed from within R by running:

install.packages(c("Rcpp", "RcppEigen"))

In addition, if you would like to avoid running "R CMD INSTALL" manually, you will need to download the devtools package:

install.packages("devtools")

Preparation for a submission to CRAN is in progress.

1. Installation

In general, installation should be very straightforward:

library(devtools)
install_git("https://github.com/grantbrown/ABSEIR.git")

If this doesn't work, please open an issue on the ABSEIR github page.
