Haplin is written for use with the statistical software R. However, it is easy to install and requires no previous knowledge of R. R can be downloaded free of charge from The R Project for Statistical Computing. Haplin is implemented as a standard R library, and should run without problems on all reasonably new R versions, for Windows, Linux or MAC.
Haplin is dependent on several other R packages:
MASS, mgcv, tools, ff, ffbase, snow
These are automatically installed together with Haplin (see below).
Moreover, if you want to use the plotting functions for plotting the results of haplinSlide and haplinStrat, you should install the ggplot2 package separately. You can still use Haplin if you don't have this package, though!
For running on a cluster, you would need the Rmpi package installed, see the vignette “Running Haplin on cluster”.
To install Haplin in R:
install.packages( "Haplin", dependencies = TRUE )
Haplin and the dependent packages will then be installed automatically over the internet from the CRAN library.
To start using Haplin, open a new R session (either in a terminal window or any IDE, e.g., RStudio). Then, use the R command:
library( Haplin )
Haplin is then loaded and ready for use.
