#How to install/upgrade PKfit manually? PKfit website: http://pkpd.kmu.edu.tw/pkfit

the first time to install PKfit If you never install PKfit before, please download the file preinst.r from the top file list. Place the file under the working directory (use getwd() under R console/terminal to find out where it is.) For linux PC OS, please make sure that you have installed all required development tools for R packages. And then download the bundle file (PKfit_x.x.x.zip for Windows OS, PKfit_x.x.x.tgz for iMac OS X, or tar.gz for linux PC OS). To use preinst.r, you need to have administrator privilege. This is very important for Windows 10, iMac OS X and Linux PC. Then open R, type source("preinst.r") and select which package you want to install. The file preinst.r will first update all currently installed packages, and then install all required packages for the selected package. If the platform is Windows OS, it will continue to install the package with a local zip file. Otherwise, it will stop after installation of all required packages. Users of iMac OS X and Linux PC need to install the package manually (sorry about that). For iMac OS X and Linux PC users, please go to the next step for more details.
upgrade from the previous version (PKfit v1.2.4 or above)
- install from the binary file Just download PKfit_x.x.x.zip (for Windows OS) or PKfit_x.x.x.tgz (for iMac OS X) from this site. Under R console (for Windows OS; iMac OS X users should choose install from a binary file), click Packages from the top menu and then click Install packages from local zip files... Find and select PKfit_x.x.x.zip (for Windows OS) or PKfit_x.x.x.tgz (for iMac OS X) that you just download to install it.
- install from the source file (This method should work for all platforms) The source file can be downloaded from the directory of src of download site. The source file should be like PKfit_x.x.x.tar.gz. Please always download the most updated version. Windows OS and iMac OS X may require the development tool which can be downloaded from CRAN mirror sites. Linux can be installed directly. Under a terminal, type R CMD INSTALL PKfit_x.x.x.tar.gz (for Windows OS 7/8.x; Windows 10 users, press "Windows key + x" together and click "Command Prompt (Admin)"); or sudo R CMD INSTALL PKfit_x.x.x.tar.gz (Linux and iMac OS X; then enter your 'su' password)
