## About

An R package for managing and analyzing text, created by [Kenneth Benoit](http://kenbenoit.net) in 
collaboration with a team of core 
[contributors](https://github.com/quanteda/quanteda/graphs/contributors): 
[Kohei Watanabe](https://github.com/koheiw), 
[Paul Nulty](https://github.com/pnulty), 
[Adam Obeng](https://github.com/adamobeng), 
[Stefan Müller](http://muellerstefan.net),
[Haiyan Wang](https://github.com/HaiyanLW), 
[Ben Lauderdale](https://github.com/lauderdale), 
and [Will Lowe](https://github.com/conjugateprior).  
Supported by the European Research Council grant ERC-2011-StG 
283794-QUANTESS.

For more details, see http://docs.quanteda.io and the **quanteda** [vignettes](https://quanteda.io/help/).

## How to Install

The normal way from CRAN, using your R GUI or 
```{r eval = FALSE}
install.packages("quanteda") 
```

Or for the latest development version:
```{r eval = FALSE}
# devtools package required to install quanteda from Github 
devtools::install_github("quanteda/quanteda") 
```

Because this compiles some C++ source code, you will need a compiler installed.
**If you are using a Windows platform**, this means you will need also to install
the [Rtools](https://CRAN.R-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/) software available
from CRAN.  **If you are using macOS**, you will need to to install XCode,
available for free from the App Store, or if you prefer a lighter footprint set
of tools, [just the Xcode command line
tools](http://osxdaily.com/2014/02/12/install-command-line-tools-mac-os-x/ ),
using the command `xcode-select --install` from the Terminal.
