I have been trying to install the Rsubread package with no success for some reason (http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/Rsubread.html).

This is the output of the first option I tried:

> source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
Bioconductor version 3.0 (BiocInstaller 1.16.1), ?biocLite for help
> biocLite("Rsubread")
BioC_mirror: http://bioconductor.org
Using Bioconductor version 3.0 (BiocInstaller 1.16.1), R version 3.1.2.
Installing package(s) 'Rsubread'

   package ‘Rsubread’ is available as a source package but not as a binary

Warning messages:
1: package ‘Rsubread’ is not available (for R version 3.1.2) 
2: installed directory not writable, cannot update packages 'boot', 'class', 'cluster',
  'codetools', 'foreign', 'KernSmooth', 'lattice', 'MASS', 'Matrix', 'mgcv', 'nlme', 'nnet',
  'rpart', 'spatial', 'survival' 

First I thought that Rsubread would not work with the most current version of R so I installed two previous versions (3.0 and even back to 2.1) and the same happened to them. 

Then I tried installing by downloading the source package and the following messages show:

* installing *source* package 'Rsubread' ...

Any ideas on how to proceed?  

Here is some general info in case it helps:

Unfortunately, Rsubread is not available on Windows (there's no Windows version of the package listed at the bottom of the landing page). This is because the package requires system libraries that are not easily available. Unfortunately, the solution is to buy another computer (or rent one or emulate one)!

After a lot of work by Yang Liao, Rsubread finally become available for Windows starting from version 1.35.24.

Or, option 4: install Linux as the primary OS on the CPU that currently runs windows :-)

Hi Martin, this is exactly what I was suspecting and just wanted a confirmation! I am currently in the hunt for friends who have Macs. Again, thank you! :)
