Installation

The easiest way to install motus is from Birds Canada’s R-Universe:

install.packages("motus", 
                 repos = c(birdscanada = 'https://birdscanada.r-universe.dev',
                           CRAN = 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))

If you want to check out work-in-progress, you can install the development branches (betaX and sandbox) using remotes.

install.packages("remotes")                     # if don't already have it
remotes::install_github("motusWTS/motus@beta3") # the beta branch for v3+
