Building and installing the package from source

First, you need to get all the sources from GitHub. It can be done by cloning this repository

git clone git@github.com:kmyokoyama/netvl.git

From the parent directory of netvl/ run:

R CMD build netvl

in order to build the tar.gz file. Then, it's a good idea to check the tar.gz file to ensure that there's no comprising errors:

R CMD check netvl_<version>.tar.gz

where <version> is the version of the package. If everything looks fine, you're ready to install it in R. In R console, type:

install.packages("pathtotargz", repos = NULL, type="source")

And it's done!
