Website typo - Quick Installation for Linux

Issue #119 resolved
Barry Grant created an issue

On your website, in the “Quick Installation for Linux/Ubuntu Users” section, you quote the following command:

install.packages(c("ncdf", "lattice", "grid", "bigmemory", "parallel", "XML",
                   "RCurl", "igraph", dependencies=TRUE)

There is obviously a bracket missing at the end. I also found that if I just add the bracket, the program asks for the nearest CRAN mirror without doing anything else. Adding “ , repos='http://cran.us.r-project.org')” finally allowed me to download the packages. While most users should be able to solve this problem, it may be a good idea to correct this mistake on your website.

    added missing bracket in recent commit. Uploading updates to website now.

    I think we leave out the repos argument if you agree
