Hi All Package DECHIPER supposed to be available from BioConductor, and the recommended install , according to Bioconductors site, is for R 4.0 (and Bioc 3.11). Even after upgrading to these versions, the package is successfully retrieved but not installed, and the installation exits with this cryptic warning message: package ‘DECHIPER’ is not available (for R version 4.0.2)

I am running R studio on Windows10. Have checked my lib path and verified the downloaded package IS there. Have also tried running R as administrator, but no dice. Other Bioconductor packages were installed with no problems at all. Any ideas much appreciated - have been at it for hours... Thanks!

Hello,

Double check the spelling of the package. It should be spelled DECIPHER. I added my code to show that it works. Hope this helps!
