Re: Segue Package

[James Long]

David,

Thanks for your interest in Segue. It's currently not in CRAN, so the
install process is the same as any other non-cran package. First
download the tarball then install:

wget http://segue.googlecode.com/files/segue_0.05.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL segue_0.05.tar.gz

Keep in mind that Segue works from Mac or Linux, but not Windows.

You can install packages on the worker nodes using the 'cranPackages'
parameter when you create the cluster with the 'createCluster'
function. Unfortunately you must specify the packages when you create
the cluster and it's hard (maybe impossible) to install packages once
the cluster is up and running.

I hope that helps. Good luck with Segue. I've CCed the Segue user list
on this email. Feel free to shoot me more questions but if you hit the
Segue user list I'm actually more likely to see the email. I have
google set to flag those as important.

Good luck!

-J
