Hi, The ?source function is intended to read a plain text R source code file into the R console, not a PDF file.
Even if source() could read in a PDF file, you have a typo in the URL, which is CRAN, not BioConductor, and which should be: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/cgdsr/vignettes/cgdsr.pdf Regards, Marc Schwartz > On Aug 15, 2018, at 2:07 PM, Spencer Brackett > <spbracket...@saintjosephhs.com> wrote: > > Good afternoon, > > I am trying to load the two R packages CGSDR and GAIA which I have > successfully installed onto my R program.
