Installation
OUTRIDER
is an R software package requiring a running R 3.6 version or higher.
We will use BiocManager

want to install the devel version of OUTRIDER
, please install it
with devtools from GitHub directly (see below).
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install('OUTRIDER')
If you have dependency issues while installing any package, please have a look at the Troubleshooting section or submit an issue on GitHub.
OUTRIDER development installation
If you want to get the latest
development version of OUTRIDER
, you can install it from GitHub with
devtools
. For this, you need a working development environment to compile the
C++ code (see for details: Windows
or MacOS X).
install.packages('devtools')
# latest development version
devtools::install_github('gagneurlab/OUTRIDER', dependencies=TRUE)
# installing a specific version/tag of OUTRIDER
devtools::install_github('gagneurlab/[email protected]', dependencies=TRUE)
To check which versions/tags are available you can check the GitHub repo here.

Toubleshooting
Missing libraries while compiling R packages
On some Linux distributions we need the developer libraries for compiling the R packages.
To install those packages, please run as administrator:
For Ubuntu or debian based systems:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-gnutls-dev libxml2-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libmariadbd-dev
For centOS or RHEL based systems:
sudo yum install R-devel zlib-devel openssl-devel libcurl-devel libxml2-devel mariadb-devel
