[R] Help with Loading a Package

[Ista Zahn]

Hi Stephanie,
You can load() the data file:

load("/path/to/drosEmbryoRMA.rda")

or install the package as instructed:

install.packages("/path/to/drosEmbryo.tar.gz", repos=NULL) # linux or mac :-)
install.packages("/path/to/drosEmbryo.zip", repos=NULL) # windows :-(

Best,
Ista
