Install Bioconductor

Here is a short manual how to install the Bioconductor software on your system.

First you need to install the statistic language R, since Bioconductor comes as a software package written in this language. If you did not already, please look at

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/ (for Windows)

or

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ (for Mac/OSX)

the Bioconductor can then be installed from the R console as follows:

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")

biocLite()

this installs the core packages of Bioconductor. If you want to install more of these, you can use the biocLite command with a specific package name:

biocLite("limma")

which would install the "limma" package
