If you have any difficulties downloading and running the SAVI R Package please let us know via [e-mail].

These instructions are for Windows, Mac and Linux

Initial set up (this only needs to be done once)

1) Download R from http://cran.rstudio.com/ and install.

2) Install the devtools package from CRAN, either by typing: install.packages('devtools') into the console, or via the Tools > Install Packages menu if using RStudio .

3) Load the devtools package via the command: library(devtools)

Windows users may be prompted to install Rtools. You do not need Rtools to install SAVI.

The SAVI report download feature requires Pandoc. Pandoc can be downloaded and installed from http://pandoc.org/.

Pandoc is not essential for the rest of SAVI to work.

Running SAVI

Type the following two lines into the console:
