# Installing cerUB {#install}

There are two options for installing the *cerUB* package:

a. Downloading the latest release version from [Zenodo.org](zenodo.org) and installing it in [RStudio](rstudio.com) (Tools > Install Packages... > Install from: Package Archive File).

b. Installing the latest development version directly from [GitHub](github.com) ([Andros-Spica/cerUB](https://github.com/Andros-Spica/cerUB)), using the *devtools* package:

```{r, eval=FALSE}
# this will install devtools package, if not installed already
if (!require("devtools"))
    install.packages("devtools") 

devtools::install_github("Andros-Spica/cerUB")
```

```{r, echo=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
# this will install devtools package, if not installed already
if (!require("devtools"))
    install.packages("devtools") 

if (!require("cerUB"))
    devtools::install_github("Andros-Spica/cerUB")
if (!require("biplot2d3d"))
    devtools::install_github("Andros-Spica/biplot2d3d")
```

The second option is recommended, because it is a faster way to install and update packages that are not in [CRAN](cran.r-project.org).


The same options are available for installing the *biplot2d3d* package, which we use here to plot protocols results.

```{r, eval=FALSE}
devtools::install_github("Andros-Spica/biplot2d3d")
```

Any other package required by these two packages (*ade4*, *rgl*, etc.) should be automatically installed.
