\title{Install or update Bioconductor, CRAN, or GitHub packages}
\description{
This package provides tools for managing \emph{Bioconductor} and other
packages in a manner consistent with \emph{Bioconductor}'s package
versioning and release system.
}
\details{
Main functions are as follows; additional help is
available for each function, e.g., \code{?BiocManager::version}.
\describe{
\item{\code{BiocManager::install()}}{Install or update packages from
\emph{Bioconductor}, CRAN, and GitHub.}
\item{\code{BiocManager::version()}}{Report the version of
\emph{Bioconductor} in use.}
\item{\code{BiocManager::available()}}{Return a \code{character()} vector
of package names available (at \code{BiocManager::repositories()})
for installation.}
\item{\code{BiocManager::valid()}}{Determine whether installed packages
are from the same version of \emph{Bioconductor}.}
\item{\code{BiocManager::repositories()}}{\emph{Bioconductor} and other
repository URLs to discover packages for installation.}
}\preformatted{The version of _Bioconductor_ in use is determined by the
installed version of a second package, BiocVersion. BiocVersion
is installed automatically during first use of
`BiocManager::install()`. If BiocVersion has not yet been
installed, the version is determined by code in base R.
}
