Hi,
I need to convert several hundred SNPs from one build to another. Went to install the liftOver workflow and the install fails.
I followed the copied the instructions for installing the workflow found here
Specifically;
source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite()
I had no problems here but next part didnt work
source("http://bioconductor.org/workflows.R")
workflowInstall("liftOver")
Warning in install.packages :

I am running R version 3.3.1 (2016-06-21) -- "Bug in Your Hair"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not an answer to your question but perhaps a solution to your problem: you can also use LiftOver online
Thanks WouterDeCoster, i have been doing that, but its not ideal.
Jim is right and you can use rtracklayer directly. I'd still like to sort out why you can't install the workflow. I've confirmed that the mac binaries and other files are available at the expected location and I am able to install the workflow. The error message says you don't have the stringi package installed:
** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) :

Did you try installing it? If not, please try installing stringi and let me know if it works.
Valerie
Can't seem to be able to install 'stringi'. Get a really lengthly error message but here is the cropped jist of it.

install.packages("stringi", type="binary"). Probably for most users binary installation is appropriate.Boom done! That worked fine and after installing the binary version of 'stringi' i was able to load the workflow. Thanks for your help Martin and Valerie.
