EchoviewR - Installation guide

---

Installing all dependencies:

EchoviewR currently has a few dependencies:

• fields
• sp
• geosphere
• maptools
• RDOCMClient
• rgeos
• lubridate

install.packages(c('fields', 'sp', 'geosphere', 'maptools', 'RDCOMClient', 'rgeos', 'lubridate'))

Sometimes the installation of RDCOMClient from CRAN fails. If this is the case, run:

install.packages("RDCOMClient", repos = "http://www.omegahat.net/R")

If you intend to create variables from within R you will need to install RDCOMMServer as well:

install.packages("RDCOMServer", repos = "http://www.omegahat.net/R")
