2 Installation

To get started with exploring congruence classes, you need to have our package ACDC installed. First, make sure that you have a recent version of R installed. You can install the stable version of ACDC from CRAN:

install.packages("ACDC")

We host the developmental version of ACDC on github. If you don’t already have it, the devtools R-package makes it easy to install directly from github. Using devtools makes it easy to install ACDC directly from GitHub.

install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("afmagee/ACDC")

You can then load the ACDC package using the library function:

library(ACDC)

Now you are ready to use ACDC to explore congruence classes in macroevolutionary diversification rates.
