README file for the R/maanova package

This file is used mainly to explain the installation of R and the R/maanova package for R.  If you have any problems with installation, send an email to Randy Smith randy.smith@jax.org.

System requirements

These programs were developed under R 1.8.0, under the Linux Redhat 8.0 operating system. The programs have been observed to work under Windows XP/2000/NT/9x. The memory requirement depends on the size of the input data but a minimum of 128Mb memory is recommanded.

Obtaining R
 
You can download R from the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN). Visit http://cran.r-project.org or a local mirror. Source code is available for UNIX, and binaries are available for Windows, MacOS, and many versions of Linux. 
 
Obtaining R/maanova

You can obtain the latest version of R/maanova from here. Copies of R/maanova will also be placed on CRAN very soon, but the version at the above site will be update more frequently.
 
 
Installation of R/maanova (Windows)
 
  1. Start Rgui.
 
  2. Select Menu "Packages", click "Install package from local zip file".
     Choose the file  maanova_*.zip and click 'OK'
 
  3. Type "link.html.help()" to get the help files for the maanova
     package added to the help indices.
 
  4. Note that the source code is in the file "maanova_*.tar.gz", which
     you may download separately.
 
 
Installation of R/maanova (Unix)
 
  1. Go into the directory containing "maanova_*.tar.gz".
 
  2. Type "R CMD INSTALL maanova_*.tar.gz" to have the package installed in
     the standard location (/usr/local/lib/R/library).  You'll
     probably need to be superuser in order to do that.
 
     To install the package locally, type
 
         R INSTALL --library=/home/auser/Rlibs maanova_*.tar.gz
 
     (where "/home/auser/Rlibs" should be replaced with the
     appropriate director).  You'll then need to create a file
     ~/.Renviron containing the line
 
         R_LIBS=/home/auser/Rlibs
 
     so that R will know to search for packages in that directory.
