How to install the Synapse R Client

Installation:

If needed, install R from http://cran.r-project.org/
From the R command prompt, install the following packages:
```
source('http://sage.fhcrc.org/CRAN.R')
pkgInstall(c("synapseClient"))
```
At a later date, we anticipate that this package will be available via Bioconductor or CRAN
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

We recommend installing RStudio It is an integrated development environment for writing and running R code.
