# BiocManager
<!-- badges: start -->

## Overview
The `BiocManager` package, as the modern successor package to
`BiocInstaller`, allows users to install and manage packages from the
*[Bioconductor](https://bioconductor.org)* project. Bioconductor focuses
on the statistical analysis and comprehension of high-throughput genomic
data.
Current *Bioconductor* packages are available on a ‘release’ version
intended for every-day use, and a ‘devel’ version where new features are
continually introduced. A new release version is created every six
months. Using the `BiocManager` package helps users accurately install
packages from the appropriate release.
- `available()` shows all packages associated with a search pattern
- `install()` installs and/or updates packages either CRAN or
Bioconductor
- `repositories()` shows all package repository URL endpoints
- `valid()` checks and returns packages that are out-of-date or too
new
- `version()` returns the current Bioconductor version number
## Installation
``` r
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
```
## Usage
### Checking Bioconductor version currently installed
``` r
BiocManager::version()
#> [1] '3.15'
```
### Installing Bioconductor packages
``` r
BiocManager::install(c("GenomicRanges", "SummarizedExperiment"))
```
### Verifying a valid Bioconductor installation
``` r
BiocManager::valid()
#> [1] TRUE
```
## More information
Please see the package vignette for more detailed information such as
changing Bioconductor version, offline use, and other advanced usage.
## Getting help
