The package contains functions that prepare monolayer and multilayer networks for analysis with Infomap, run Infomap from within R and parse the results back to R. It is inspired by analysis of ecological networks but is suitable for other areas of research as well. The package also includes several data sets of ecological networks.

2022-01-19 :
Updating the package to be compatible with the latest version of Infomap (2.0.0).
- Defaults to installing the latest Infomap version.
- Defaults to including self-link as apposed to previous versions that defaulted to excluding them.
Excluding self-links now requires adding "\--no-self-links" to the optional arguments.

Update Install_infomap function to default as downlading the pre-compiled binary versions of Infomap, as can be found here.
