 +It is always better to a install the latest version of a package as directed in the corresponding Bioconductor page (e.g., [[https://bioconductor.org/packages/Pigengene|Pigengene]]). If you need to see more details in the source code, or you need the development version, you can clone the source from the Bioconductor using the "Source Repository (Developer Access) " command, which is posted on the corresponding package [[https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/Pigengene.html|page]], e.g.,
  
 <code> <code>
 mkdir ~/proj; cd ~/proj mkdir ~/proj; cd ~/proj
-git clone https://github.com/Bioconductor-mirror/Pigengene.git+git clone git@git.bioconductor.org:packages/Pigengene 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Now, you can build the package fom the source using: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +R CMD REMOVE Pigengene; R CMD build Pigengene 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +If the build is successful, a tarbal will be created. You can install the new package using: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 + R CMD INSTALL Pigengene_<Version>.tar.gz
