cannot install samr with R 3.4.3 or R 3.4.4

[wtamaki]

install.packages("samr") returns "Warning in install.packages :
package ‘samr’ is not available (for R version 3.4.3)"

Is there a away to get arounds this? Such as downloading samr directly? or do I need to update my version of R (this would make it incompatible with some other programs I have?)

Thanks!

I think the package was removed recently from CRAN.. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

Use github to install, see issue #35
@MikeJSeo could you reopen issue 35 in order to avoid multi-posting?

Thank you Sam, I didn't know I closed it.

Hi Sam,

I was using samr for so long using the prompt that you suggested but now from past 2 days I am unable to download the samr package. It keeps giving me the error that samr can’t open. Please help

It gives the following error
package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of c/c++/fortran: ‘samr’

Hi,
What's your R version? I should do a sessionInfo() command.
I have just reinstall the samr package without any problem.
