Installation:

  1. If needed, install R from http://cran.r-project.org/
  2. From the R command prompt, install the following packages:

    source('http://depot.sagebase.org/CRAN.R')
    pkgInstall("synapseClient")
    

    At a later date, we anticipate that this package will be available via Bioconductor or CRAN

  3. NOTE: If you are running OSX, you will need to install tcl/tk for all of the client features to work properly. You can find the installer here: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/tcltk-8.5.5-x11.dmg
  4. NOTE: the "zip" command must be executable from your OS's command interpreter. If you see an error like the following, you can resolve the issue by following these instructions: Installing Zip

    Error in owner@fileCache$createArchive() :
      Archive could not be created because it contains multiple files yet the system does not have zip installed.
