Quick tips: user only need to download two files to install bear. Place these two files in your R working directory/folder. These two files include preinst.r and a binary file for bear. User also can install bear from its source tarball.

• THE FIRST TIME TO INSTALL bear If you never install bear before, please download the file preinst.r (only for R v4.1.x; any platform) or bw_preinst.r (for R v4.1.x or above; just for Windows 10/11) from the top file list. Place the file under the working directory (use getwd() under R console/terminal to find out where it is.) Download the binary file (bear_x.x.x.zip for Windows OS, bear_x.x.x.tgz for macOS, or bear_x.x.x_R_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz for linux PC OS). To use preinst.r, you need to have system administrator privilege if your platform is Windows or Linux (sudo R). Place preinst.r and the binary file in the R working directory. Then open R as the system administrator (Windows/Linux OS), type source("preinst.r") or source("bw_preinst.r") and click the package button to install. Follow the instructions when running preinst.r or bw_preinst.r. When asked "Yes/No/Cancel?" during installation, always respond "Yes". The source tarball file can also be used to install. Users can downloaded from the directory of src of download site. The name of source tarball file should be like bear_x.x.x.tar.gz. To run bear, open R (as a general user), and type library(bear) -> go().

• UPGRADE FROM THE PREVIOUS VERSION

  install from the binary file Just download bear_x.x.x.zip (for Windows) or bear_x.x.x.tgz (for macOS) from this site.

MacOS user should open R first from a terminal and type install.packages("bear_x.x.x.tgz",repos=NULL) to install it.
