OpenMx Installation
Dear all

I am a new user to OpenMX and cannot download it onto the new version of R (see error message below) and I do not know how to download the older version of R (ie. 3.0) onto my Mac.

Any help will be much appreciated,
Carol

Hi Carol,

OpenMx is not currently built for R 3.1.0. To use OpenMx I think you'll have to use R 3.0.

If you go to the CRAN webpage (http://cran.us.r-project.org/), click "Download R for (Mac) OS X". Toward the bottom you'll see "old", underneath "tools", "contrib", "mavericks", etc.. Click "old". Scroll down to "R-3.0.3.pkg". Click that to download it, then install it. Sorry for the inconvenience. We will be working to get OpenMx released for the new version of R soon.

But:

Warning message:

and
> require(OpenMX)
Loading required package: OpenMX

I am probably still doing something wrong. Sorry.

Kind regards
Carol

Openmx is now running with the current version of R.
All you need is:


source('http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/getOpenMx.R')
require(OpenMx)
