How to install rBLAST on RStudio?

Hello all dear I am new in R. I installed R and R studio ver 3.3.4 on windows.But I can’t install rBLAST and blastSeq packages on it. I used of following two commands:

install.packages("rBLAST")

or

source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("rBLAST")

but both showed the following erorr:

Warning message:
package ‘rBLAST’ is not available (for R version 3.4.3)

I am waiting for valuable your answer thank you

My understanding is that the rBLAST package is neither in the CRAN (explaining why your install.packages("rBLAST") command doesn't work), or the Bioconductor repository (explaining why the biocLite installation doesn't work).

You can still install it. The easiest approach is to install it directly from GitHub. This requires that the devtools package is installed.

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("mhahsler/rBLAST")

The alternative is to clone or download the repository and build it yourself.

git clone https://github.com/mhahsler/rBLAST.git
R CMD build rBLAST
R CMD INSTALL <name of the resulting tarball>
