About
An R package for managing and analyzing text, created by Kenneth
Benoit. Supported by the European Research
Council grant ERC-2011-StG 283794-QUANTESS.
For more details, see https://quanteda.io.
How to Install
The normal way from CRAN, using your R GUI or
install.packages("quanteda")
Or for the latest development version:
# devtools package required to install quanteda from Github
devtools::install_github("quanteda/quanteda")
Because this compiles some C++ and Fortran source code, you will need to
have installed the appropriate compilers.
If you are using a Windows platform, this means you will need also
to install the Rtools
software available from CRAN.
If you are using macOS, you should install the macOS
tools, namely the Clang
6.x compiler and the GNU Fortran compiler (as quanteda requires
gfortran to build). If you are still getting errors related to gfortran,
follow the fixes
here.
