## Social media and other resources
Visit our [R-Luminescence homepage](https://r-luminescence.org).
## Installation
#### i. Requirements
- *Windows (32/64bit)*:
[Rtools](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/) (provided by
CRAN)
- *macOS*: [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/) (provided by Apple)
- *Linux*: [gcc](https://gcc.gnu.org) often comes pre-installed in most
distributions.
#### ii. Install the package
Install any development versions using our [RStudio](https://posit.co)
add-in
##### The plain **R** way
To install the stable version from CRAN, simply run the following from
an R console:
``` r
install.packages("Luminescence")
```
To install the latest development builds directly from GitHub, run
``` r
if(!require("devtools"))
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("R-Lum/Luminescence@<wanted branch>")
```
## Contribute
The R luminescence project is based on and evolves from ideas,
contributions and constructive criticism of its users. Help us to
maintain and develop the package, to find bugs and create new functions
as well as a user-friendly design. Try
<https://github.com/R-Lum/Luminescence/issues> or write us an
[e-mail](mailto:developers@r-luminescence.org) if anything crosses your
mind or if you want your new self-written function to be to implemented.
You are kindly invited to bring forward the package with us!
## Note

## Funding
- 2011-2013: The initial version of the package was developed in the
framework of the PhD thesis by Sebastian Kreutzer, while he was funded
through the DFG programme “Rekonstruktion der Umweltbedingungen des
Spätpleistozäns in Mittelsachsen anhand von Löss-Paläobodensequenzen”
([GEPRIS id: 46526743](https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/46526743))
- 2014-2018: Cooperation and personal exchange between the developers is
gratefully funded by the DFG in the framework of the program
“Scientific Networks”. Project title: “RLum.Network: Ein
Wissenschaftsnetzwerk zur Analyse von Lumineszenzdaten mit R” ([GEPRIS
id: 250974974](https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/250974974))
- 05/2014-12/2019: The work of Sebastian Kreutzer as maintainer of the
package was supported by LabEx LaScArBx (ANR - n. ANR-10-LABX-52).

- since 08/2024 the future and sustainable development of
`'Luminescence'` towards better reproducibility and usability is
supported through the DFG programme “REPLAY: REProducible Luminescence
Data AnalYses” [No
