Automatic installation from CRAN
The PropClust package is available from the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN), the standard repository for R add-on packages. To install the required packages and PropClust, simply type
This will install the PropClust package and all necessary dependencies. The catch is that this only installs the newest version of PropClust if your R version is also the newest (minor) version. Users using older versions of R will need to follow the manual download and installation instructions below. But we recommend to use the latest version of R.
Note for Mac users:
CRAN may occasionally fail to compile the PropClust package for
Mac OS X. This leads to the error message "Package PropClust is not available..." when calling
install.packages()
. If this occurs,
please download the binary version from here and follow the installation
instructions (or, if you are able to compile packages locally, download the source and install that).
Note of caution: The newest versions of PropClust is available from CRAN only for the current R version. Please update your R to the newest version or use the manual download below.
