BioConductor Mirror

The following guide will allow users to download R packages from BioConductor by connecting to a trusted mirror from a Linux workstation

Software from the BioConductor mirror is currently only available to Linux users. We expect to make it available for Windows users soon.

In R, issue the following commands:

BIOCONDUCTOR_ONLINE_VERSION_DIAGNOSIS = FALSE

install.packages("BiocManager")

You may be prompted with two dialog windows:

1) Would you like to use a personal library instead?

2) Would you like to use a personal library "C:\Users\"....

Choose Yes for both of them.

After the installation completes, quit R and reopen it. You can add Bioc packages with an install command (change "abc" to the package you'd like to install):

BiocManager::install(c("<package>"))

Troubleshooting:

BiocManager::install(c("<package1>", "<package2>"))

If you have trouble adding packages, confirm the following lines exist in your ~/.Rprofile file:

options(

repos = "http://cran.services.brown.edu",

BioC_mirror = "http://bioc.services.brown.edu"

)
