Installing R Package from Github for use in R Tool or Macro

[Anthony_A]

I am using an R package that is not available through CRAN or the R package installer available on the Alteryx gallery. I haven't seen a similar post and wanted to share my success with others.

The package I wanted to use is called "autumn". Its used for rake weighting of survey results and available on Github here.

To install it:

1) I dragged the R tool onto the canvas

2) Typed :

devtools::install_github("aaronrudkin/autumn")

3) Then ran the R Tool

The autumn R package was now available for use. 

Hope this helps anyone else looking to use a special R package that isn't available from common sources!
