This is the source code for the R package "raster". Released versions are on CRAN.
To install the development version you can do:
library(devtools)
install_github("rspatial/raster")If you are on Windows, you need to first install Rtools to get a C++ compiler that R can use.
If that is a problem, you may be able to get a recent version from R-Forge with this command install.packages("raster", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org").
On rspatial.org you can learn about spatial data analysis with R.
stackoverflow is the best place to ask questions if you get stuck. Make sure to include a simple reproducible example.
Please send me an email if you have a bug report. See maintainer("raster") for the email address; or you can file an issue on this github site.
