Installing SNPRelate package with R at Ubuntu machine

Hi All,

I am planning to install SNPRelate package with R on Ubuntu Machine. I tried to procedure mentioned at http://corearray.sourceforge.net/ but while installing I am getting following warnings

> install.packages("gdsfmt", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
Installing package into '/home/syed/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.1'
(as 'lib' is unspecified)
Warning message:
package 'gdsfmt' is not available (for R version 3.1.0)
> install.packages("SNPRelate", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
Installing package into '/home/syed/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.1'
(as 'lib' is unspecified)
Warning message:
package 'SNPRelate' is not available (for R version 3.1.0)

I tried to install latest R version already.

Can someone help me with workaround for this? What version of R this SNPRelate supports?

pca software r error

Those were removed from CRAN a couple weeks ago. You can still download the versions from the archive (gdsfmt, SNPRelate) and try to install them manually.

Thanks !! Any one can help me in getting documentation for this SNPRelate.

Seems like they are github packages also. Maybe try to install using devtools and github instead.

Here's how to install from github:

and it seems that the github repos are provided in the link you mentioned: http://corearray.sourceforge.net/
