Hi there,

I have read the instructions for downloading the recount R package, and it says first to upgrade R to version 3.3.0. At the CRAN website, I recently upgraded my version of R to 3.3.1; however, it seems that biocLite is unable to download recount under this newer version. Am I doing something wrong?

Here is the error:

biocLite('recount')
BioC_mirror: https://bioconductor.org
Using Bioconductor 3.3 (BiocInstaller 1.22.3), R 3.3.1 (2016-06-21).
Installing package(s) ‘recount’
Warning message:
package ‘recount’ is not available (for R version 3.3.1)

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi @julclu,

You are using the release version of Bioconductor (version 3.3). recount is currently only available for the development version of Bioconductor (version 3.4). See https://www.bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/useDevel/ for instructions on how to use Bioconductor devel.

Best,
Leonardo
