For more details, see http://docs.quanteda.io and the quanteda vignettes.

How to Install

The normal way from CRAN, using your R GUI or

install.packages("quanteda") 

Or for the latest development version:

# devtools package required to install quanteda from Github 
devtools::install_github("quanteda/quanteda") 

Because this compiles some C++ source code, you will need a compiler installed. If you are using a Windows platform, this means you will need also to install the Rtools software available from CRAN. If you are using macOS, you will need to to install XCode, available for free from the App Store, or if you prefer a lighter footprint set of tools, just the Xcode command line tools, using the command xcode-select --install from the Terminal.
