Hi Everyone,

New user and first time posting to Bioconductor support page. I am also fairly new to R software

Come up with a slight issue loading the 'rnaseqGene' package from this workflow

http://www.bioconductor.org/help/workflows/rnaseqGene/#abstract

I am currently running the latest R version 3.4.4 for mac, however the 'rnaseqGene' package only seems to be compatible for 3.4.2

So my two questions are;

1) Is it possible for me to find a way to run 'rnaseqGene' package on my current R version 3.4.4

2) If not, what is the easiest way to get a 3.4.2 version for mac

Hope you can help and looking forward to interacting with the community

Thanks,

Harry

Can you please post the commands and the ERROR you are seeing when you try to install the package.

I tried on Windows and Linux and get the same result as the OP:

Of course, this is what appears in my console when using the command lines that is suggested on the workflow page linked in my original comment

We just implemented the workflow download with biocLite() and works for Bioc 3.7 -

Could you try the old installation and see if this works; perhaps it should have only been advertised for the devel until the release:

source("http://bioconductor.org/workflows.R")

workflowInstall("rnaseqGene")

Your suggestion has allowed me to load the "rnaseqGene" package into R version 3.4.4! Thanks for your help!
