Frequently Asked Questions (and their answers):

# 1: How do I know which R version / adegenet version I'm using?
For R version, type:
R.version

For adegenet version, type:
packageDescription("adegenet", field="Version")


# 2: Loading adegenet fails on windows Vista; what's going on?
This is likely caused by a wrong installation of the package, or not installing the dependencies.
Start R in 'Administrator' mode (right click on R's icon -> "start as administrator"), then type:
install.packages("adegenet", dep=TRUE)


# 3: Help pages are not found on windows...
This is likely because your R installation did not include help pages in html. You need to specify you want to use help in text mode. This is achieved by typing:
options("help_type"="text")


# 4: Loading adegenet fails with this error (R >= 2.13.0):
Error in as.environment(pos) : no item called "newtable" on the search list
This is because the package 'graph', on which adegenet depends, has been removed from CRAN. You need to install graph from bioconductor first, and then install adegenet:

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("graph")
install.packages("adegenet", dep=TRUE)
