Hi! You need to run this in your terminal before installing anything in Bioconductor/R:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
sudo apt-get install r-cran-xml
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

Hope it works for you too!

Answer 2

[andrew.j.skelton73]

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")

You didn't get an error, it executed. Did you even read the output you pasted here?

"https:// URLs are not supported by the default method"

secure URLs are not supported by the source function

"trying "lib curl""

It tries the lib curl library.

"Bioconductor version 3.1 (BiocInstaller 1.18.4), ?biocLite for help"

Success.

Have a go at trying to figure out the errors yourself before posting. Throwing the error into google, plus "R" brings up a number of results.

thanks you Andrew,

I'm trying since morning to install this package, llok at the below please

This is your problem:

Error : package 'BSgenome' 1.32.0 was found, but >= 1.33.5 is required by 'BSgenome.Celegans.UCSC.ce2'

The package you are trying to install or its dependencies needs a newer version of this BSgenome. You probably had an earlier version already installed.

Try updating it first

biocLite("BSgenome")

then

biocLite("DESeq2")

[zizigolu]

thank you

i will try

[andrew.j.skelton73]

run

biocLite()

to update all your outdated packages then

biocLite("DESeq2")

The install.packages function is for CRAN libraries, whereas DESeq2 is a Bioconductor Library.

sorry Andrew,

I did what you said

but asked me Would you like to use a personal library instead? (y/n) and I typed y and after some time said that:

The downloaded source packages are in
    '/tmp/RtmpzRdBqS/downloaded_packages'
There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first 50)
>

now from where I can recognize that if the package installed or not?

thank you

[andrew.j.skelton73]

library(DESeq2)

[zizigolu]

> library(DESeq2)
Error in library(DESeq2) : there is no package called 'DESeq2'
>

then what can I do now?

[andrew.j.skelton73]

Did you run

warnings()

As it suggested?

[zizigolu]

hi andrew,

this is my 50 error

[andrew.j.skelton73]

As @Lemire/OICR stated, from your original log:

Error : package 'BSgenome' 1.32.0 was found, but >= 1.33.5 is required by 'BSgenome.Celegans.UCSC.ce2'

Is the issue, you need to install an updated version.

[zizigolu]

thank you,

I did the same but again the same question(would you like to your personal file) I typed y but

Error : package 'BSgenome' 1.32.0 was found, but >= 1.33.5 is required by 'BSgenome.Celegans.UCSC.ce2'

[andrew.j.skelton73]

You ran

biocLite("BSgenome")

didn't you?

[zizigolu]

I ran biocLite("BSgenome") the first then I ran (DESeq2)...but the same error...there is a file named R-3.2.2 in /usr/data/nfs6/izadi/ containing many folders then I ran the library(/usr/data/nfs6/izadi/R-3.2.2/lib/DESeq2) but again error...totally I donno how I can install this package

Some R versions have problems with biocLite in R. Try with this tutorial: 5 Ways to install DESeq2
