WaterBalance

R package for implementing Dave Thoma's water balance spreadsheet model

TO REINSTALL WATERBALANCE PACKAGE AFTER R IS UPDATED USING THE COPY-PASTE METHOD IN WINDOWS

• These instructions pertain to R updates in which the WaterBalance package is copied from the previous version's win-library folder and pasted into the current version's win-library folder.

If the WaterBalance package does not work after R is updated, the user may need to do the following:

1. In R 4.0.x, check to see that the "Maintainer" field in the package DESCRIPTION is formatted as follows:

Annie Kellner Dillon <[e-mail]>

1. The WaterBalance package may need to be rebuilt. To do this, follow these steps:

a. Open the R terminal. Make sure R opens new terminals with Command Prompt. If you see dollar signs ($) in the prompt, you are likely using Git Bash to open terminals. To switch, go to Tools --> Global Options --> Terminal. Where it says "New terminals open with", select "Command Prompt" from the drop-down menu. Apply. (NOTE: you can also execute this workflow from the Command Prompt outside the R session by running the R.exe file).

b. Once you have opened a new terminal in your R session using Command Prompt, change directory to the win-library associated with the current R version. The "change directory" command is cd ~/path/to/folder.

c. Enter the following code into the Terminal: R CMD build WaterBalance

d. Open the console (or the Installing_WB_package.R script)

e. Type or execute the following code:

library("devtools")
install("WaterBalance")
