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://depot.sagebase.org/CRAN.R') pkgInstall("synapseClient") # If you plan to use a private SFTP server for hosting data, install the optional Rsftp library: pkgInstall("Rsftp")
At a later date, we anticipate that these packages will be available via Bioconductor or CRAN
Also possibly need to install these:
pkgInstall("RCurl") pkgInstall("rjson") pkgInstall("digest") pkgInstall("RUnit")
Supported Platforms:
- Windows
- Mac OSX
- Any Linux/Unix platform will use the source of the package and compile/install as-needed
Common Installation Problems
