BiocManager (version 1.30.10)

BiocManager-pkg: Install or update Bioconductor, CRAN, or GitHub packages

Description

This package provides tools for managing Bioconductor and other packages in a manner consistent with Bioconductor's package versioning and release system.

Details

Main functions are as follows; additional help is available for each function, e.g., ?BiocManager::version.

BiocManager::install()

Install or update packages from Bioconductor, CRAN, and GitHub.

BiocManager::version()

Report the version of Bioconductor in use.

BiocManager::available()

Return a character() vector of package names available (at BiocManager::repositories()) for installation.

BiocManager::valid()

Determine whether installed packages are from the same version of Bioconductor.

BiocManager::repositories()

Bioconductor and other repository URLs to discover packages for installation.

The version of _Bioconductor_ in use is determined by the
installed version of a second package, BiocVersion. BiocVersion
is installed automatically during first use of
`BiocManager::install()`. If BiocVersion has not yet been
installed, the version is determined by code in base R.
