All code was tested with R Version 4.2.1, RTools42, and Tidyverse V 1.3.2.

Windows

Download and install a recent R version (V 4.2.1).

Download and install Rtools42 according to your R-version (V 4.2.1). It is required to install the packages.

Download and install RStudio.

Debian/Ubuntu

To install R and its dependencies, enter the following commands into the terminal.

wget -qO- https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/marutter_pubkey.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/r-project.gpg

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/r-project.gpg] https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu jammy-cran40/" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/r-project.list

sudo apt update

sudo apt install --no-install-recommends r-base

sudo apt install r-base-dev

sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libfontconfig1-dev

Install RStudio.

Then “Right-Click -> Open With ->Software Install” should help in the installation.

Mac

We need some collaborators, who try out the BIDSconvertR on a Mac system. Contact me, if you are interested.
