remotes::install_github("wadpac/GGIR", dependencies = TRUE)
library(GGIR)

Other packages you may need

Additionally, in some use-cases you will need to install one or multiple additional packages. Note that these packages are not installed by default, so please follow the instructions if:

You want to derive Neishabouricounts (with do.neishabouricounts = TRUE), install the actilifecounts package with install.packages("actilifecounts")
You want to process Sensewear xlsx files (with dataFormat = "sensewear"), install the readxl package with install.packages("readxl")

Installing older versions of a package

When aiming to reproduce historical analysis it is critical to install the correct package version. Below we will explain how to do this for GGIR release 2.4-0 but this should work for any release. Note that GGIR is archived on both CRAN (major releases only) and GitHub (all releases).

From CRAN archive:

require(remotes)
install_version("GGIR", version = "2.4-0", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")

require(remotes)
install_github("wadpac/GGIR", ref = "2.4-0")
