Context: BioCro is an R package that simulates plant growth.

In the process of merging two forks of the BioCro project, I removed this from GitHub (an unstable, archived version is on Zenodo, but that is not intended for use).

Now, we keep the stable version of BioCro on rForge because it allows the package to be installed in this way

install.packages("BioCro", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

Rforge makes it easier (for Windows users) because it does not require installing Rtools and devtools.

update We are in the process of making the development version available (and development process open) but need to first remove a few bits of proprietary code.

The install_github("ebimodeling/biocro") now gives the most recent stable version, which includes the ability to simulate the growth of Willow.

library(devtools)
install_github("biocro", "ebimodeling")

note: more recent versions of devtools require

install_github("ebimodeling/biocro")
