Install the psycho package

If you've never used psycho, enter one of the following in the console and press enter:

# This for the stable version:
install.packages("psycho")

# Or this for the dev version:
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("neuropsychology/psycho.R")

In case of error: Sometimes the installation fails, and you might find in the red output the following lines:

there is no package called ‘**thenameofapackage**’
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘psycho’

Try installing the missing packages (install.packages("thenameofapackage")) and then, install psycho again (sometimes this can be done several times).

Anyway, once you have psycho, just put this at the beginning of every script:

library(psycho)
