[Bioc-devel] R package on Github uses Bioconductor depenencies and cant be installed.

[Ruff, Sergej]

Hello,


I have an R package on  Github that uses Bioconductor dependencies:


https://github.com/klausjung-hannover/bootGSEA/blob/main/DESCRIPTION


One reviewer recently sent me a message that he can�t install the package.

Itried installing the package on a new device and got the following error:


Installing package into �/home/sergejruff/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.3�
(as �lib� is unspecified)
ERROR: dependencies �topGO�, �ReactomePA�, �org.Mm.eg.db� are not available for package �bootGSEA�
* removing �/home/sergejruff/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.3/bootGSEA�
Warning messages:
1: packages �org.Mm.eg.db�, �ReactomePA�, �topGO� are not available for this version of R

Versions of these packages for your version of R might be available elsewhere,

2: In i.p(...) :
  installation of package �/tmp/Rtmpnq6hVG/filed7528253e49/bootGSEA_1.0.tar.gz� had non-zero exit status


The CRAN dependencies install fine but Bioconductor packages refuse to install.


Is there a way to solve the problem?


I use the following command:


library(devtools)
install_github("klausjung-hannover/bootGSEA")


I read that I should use biocView to the description file, but i couldn�t find a good source where someone explains why thats right or what biocView does?

Could someone help me with my problem and explain if adding Biocview helps and more importantly why?


Best, Sergej
