Bioconductor is a website that gathers open source software for bioinformatics in the R language.
You can install a Bioconductor package using their interface. As an example, let us install the RBGL package. First, start a R session, and then just type:
source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite("RBGL") |
If you are installing a package for the first time and started R as a user (not root), then you will not have permission to install package in the standard directory. However, R will ask you to create a new directory to install the new package. Just say yes to the questions.
Dependencies will be managed by R automatically.
