Installation from Binary Package (Windows)

1. Download the most recent binary version of rpact in the members area. The file should have a name like this: "rpact_2.9.9.9xxx.zip" suitable for your specific R version, i.e. you must download the binary version which is suitable for the minor R version 3, 4 or 5.
   Important: the ZIP file must have the name "rpact_2.9.9.9xxx.zip" (please remove the "_0", "_1" or "_2" from the name if available); otherwise the installation will fail.
2. RGui: We recommend to install the package with the RGui and not RStudio because sometimes RStudio has caused some problems with the installation. E.g., it was not possible to use rpact on a system having R 3.5.0 together with RStudio 1.1.447 installed; after an update to RStudio 1.1.453 the installation and usage of rpact was possible
   1. Open R (>= 3.4.0).
   2. Run the following command under R: install.packages("rpact_2.9.9.9xxx.zip", repos=NULL, type = "win.binary")
      Dont't forget to replace "rpact_2.9.9.9xxx.zip" by the correct file name
3. RStudio: alternatively to step 2 you can use RStudio to install rpact by clicking on „Install packags from local files“ in the RStudio menu.
4. Load the library: library(rpact)
5. You are ready to work with rpact! A good entry point for starting may be the help page: help(package = "rpact")
6. Install the package ggplot2 to enable the powerful graphical features of rpact.
