I am trying to update R and all packages after not working with it for a few years. I am on a MAC running Sonoma 14.6.1. I need to install MetagenomeSeq for some analysis work and am running into a problem installing it.
I have updated R to version 4.4.1 and R studio to Version 2024.09.0+375
I have installed BioConductor version 3.20 using the command
install.packages("BiocManager")
I have verified that BiocManager is turned on in the packages tab of R Studio
I can install other packages using the command
BiocManager::install("name_of_package",force=TRUE)
But when I try the command
BiocManager::install("metagenomeSeq",force=TRUE)
I get the following error
Warning message: package ‘metagenomeSeq’ is not available for Bioconductor version '3.20'
A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere, see the ideas at https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages
I tried installing it directly in R instead of R studio and I get the same error.
The MetagenomeSeq page at https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/metagenomeSeq.html
Indicates that it should run with Bioconductor 3.20
I also tried the code listed on the bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/metagenomeSeq.html page
Any suggestions appreciated
It looks like that package is erroring out while testing on the Bioconductor build servers. As another commenter suggested, you can try installing the package directly from github, though I would contact the maintainers and see if they're still active. Alternatively, you can download a prior version of R and the correlated Bioconductor version and that should still work.
