HOWTO: INSTALL R PACKAGES FROM GITHUB REPOSITORIES

1. In R, install and load the devtools package with
   
   install.packages('devtools')
   library(devtools)
   
   
2. Install the package from the GitHub repository with a command like (for the cpc package hosted at https://github.com/tpepler/cpc, for example)
   
   install_github('tpepler/cpc')
   
   
3. Load the installed package in R with
   
   library(cpc)
   
   and it will be ready to use.
