I'm trying to install the new recount R package.
Now, since recount requires R >= 3.3.0 (according to http://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/recount.html), I installed the latest version of R (3.3.1) and then tries installing recount, but, unfortunately, it doesn't work:
> biocLite("recount")
BioC_mirror: http://bioconductor.org
Using Bioconductor version 3.0 (BiocInstaller 1.16.5), R version 3.3.1.
Temporarily using Bioconductor version 3.0
Installing package(s) 'recount'
Warning message:
package ‘recount’ is not available (for R version 3.3.1)
Please let me know if recount can be made compatible with 3.3.1. Thanks.

Thanks, Steve. I already tried to no avail:
> biocLite("BiocUpgrade") Error: Bioconductor version 3.0 cannot be upgraded with R version 3.1.0Update: Restarting R seems to help, but installation of recount does not go to completion & I still get (among other warnings):
recount is available in the devel branch, so one last step is
Be sure to run
BiocInstaller::biocValid()and follow suggestions to bring your packages into the 'devel' version.Were you able to install recount following Martin Morgan's feedback? Like others have said, recount is only available via Bioconductor-devel.
