To access some useful functions install the devtools package from the R command line:

install.packages("devtools")

or, from the tab bar: Tools – Install packages ()

Then load it:

library(devtools)

2. Install the ONC R Client Library using devtools’ “install_github funtion” in the R command line:

install_github("OceanNetworksCanada/api-r-client")

• Selecting “Option: 1 (All)” will download missing dependencies such as “tictoc”, “lubridate” etc. or update existing dependencies.
• The installation process will take several minutes to complete depending on how many dependencies are missing or need to be updated.
• After the installation process completes (command line returns: “* DONE (onc.api)”) you can load the ONC R Client Library via the command:

library(onc.api)

It will be ready for use.
