🛠️ Installation

TALL is an R package with an integrated Shiny interface. You can install it in just a few lines of code — either using the stable release from CRAN or the development version from GitHub.

✅ System Requirements & Setup

Before installing TALL, make sure the following components are correctly set up on your computer:

  1. Install R
    TALL is built on the R programming language. You must have R version 4.2.0 or higher installed.
    👉 Download it from the official CRAN R Project

  2. (Recommended) Install RStudio
    RStudio is a user-friendly interface for working with R. It is highly recommended for running TALL smoothly.
    👉 Download it from Posit RStudio Download

  3. Ensure an Internet Connection
    An active internet connection is required to install TALL and download its dependencies.

  4. Install TALL
    You can install TALL using either the stable version from CRAN or the latest development version from GitHub:

Stable Version

Official release available on CRAN, updated monthly. 

if (!require("pak", quietly = TRUE)) install.packages("pak")
pak::pkg_install("tall")

# Run TALL
library(tall)
tall()

Development Version

Get TALL directly from the GitHub repository. This version includes the latest features, but may occasionally contain minor bugs.

To check if your system is ready to compile a package from GitHub, run: 

if (!require("pak", quietly = TRUE)) install.packages("pak")
pkgbuild::check_build_tools(debug = TRUE)

Note: If you are using Windows, make sure Rtools is installed. For Mac users, install the Xcode Command Line Tools. 

pak::pkg_install("massimoaria/tall")

# Run TALL
library(tall)
tall()
