poRe is written for R version 3 or above, which is available from CRAN
The first step is to install dependencies, which can be done from within R:
# RUN THIS CODE FROM WITHIN R
# packages from BioConductor
source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("rhdf5")
# packages from CRAN
install.packages(c("shiny","svDialogs","data.table","bit64"))
Download the latest zip file from SourceForge
Open R and choose Packages -> Install package(s) from local zip file. Navigate to the downloaded zip file.
Download the latest tar.gz file from SourceForge
From the command line, run:
# RUN THIS COMMAND FROM THE TERMINAL
R CMD INSTALL poRe_0.17.tar.gzSome people have reported problems installing poRe on Mac due to dependency issues.
In particular, if installation of data.table fails with:
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
Then this can be fixed with
xcode-select --install
