Download & Installation¶

Download¶

The latest stable release of SHazaM can be downloaded from CRAN or GitHub.

Installing Released Versions¶

The simplest way to install SHazaM is via CRAN:

install.packages("shazam")

Downloaded source builds from GitHub may be installed in the usual way:

install.packages("shazam_x.y.z.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")

Building Development Versions¶

To build from the source code, first install the build dependencies:

install.packages(c("devtools", "roxygen2", "testthat", "knitr", "rmarkdown", "Rcpp"))

To install the latest development code via devtools:

library(devtools)
install_github("immcantation/shazam@master")

Note, using install_github will not build the documentation. To generate the documentation, clone the repository and build as normal using devtools, roxygen and knitr:

library(devtools)
install_deps()
document()
build()
install()

Some users might experience issues with shazam if certain dependencies are not installed correctly. One straightforward way to ensure all required packages are available is to install shazam via Bioconductor:

install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("shazam")

If you still encounter issues with missing dependencies, you can use the Posit Public Package Manager to identify and install them manually.
