Windows users: the package contains c++ code, so if you compile yourself, you need RTools installed.
To install a specific (older) release, decide for the version number that you want to install in https://github.com/florianhartig/BayesianTools/releases (version numbering corresponds to CRAN, but there may be smaller releases that were not pushed to CRAN) and run, e.g.
devtools::install_github(repo = "florianhartig/BayesianTools", subdir = "BayesianTools", ref = "v0.0.10", dependencies = T, build_vignettes = T)
with v0.0.10 replaced by the appropriate version number.
We highly welcome questions by users, so don't be shy - any questions, even if it feels "stupid", helps us to understand how we can improve the interface, documentation, or code of the package.
