How to install ggtern package in R

  • 772

I ran the following code in R according to this page

install.packages("ggtern")

but R says

> install.packages("ggtern")
Installing package into ‘/home/user/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.0’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
Warning message:
package ‘ggtern’ is not available (for R version 3.0.2)

Now how can I install it?

Just for the sake of completeness:

  1. > install.packages(c("ggplot2", "plyr", "gtable", "scales", "reshape2", "proto", "sp"))

  2. Download ggtern_1.0.3.2.tar.gz from http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/ggtern/ and put it on Home directory or ran download.file("http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/ggtern/ggtern_1.0.3.2.tar.gz", destfile="ggtern_1.0.3.2.tar.gz").

  3. > install.packages("ggtern_1.0.3.2.tar.gz", repos=NULL).

  4. Load the package > library(ggtern).

  5. Use the package. See Making a ternary plot.

    Package ggtern was removed from the CRAN repository (Archived on 2015-03-03 as misuse of \donttest was not corrected).

    Formerly available versions can be obtained from the archive.

    You can install the source package manually in R:

    R> download.file("http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/ggtern/ggtern_1.0.1.3.tar.gz",
                 destfile="ggtern_1.0.1.3.tar.gz")
R> install.packages("ggtern_1.0.1.3.tar.gz", repos=NULL)

    or in a shell:

    sh> wget "http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/ggtern/ggtern_1.0.1.3.tar.gz"
sh> R CMD INSTALL ggtern_1.0.1.3.tar.gz
