oceglider is an R package for processing ocean glider data, with support for Slocum and SeaExplorer devices.

Since oceglider is not on CRAN, it must be installed from source. An easy way to do that is to use the remotes package to install it from the github source. There are two main branches to consider. The one called “develop” is in active development, and is likely the best one to install if you want the latest features. Use

remotes::install_github("dankelley/oceglider", ref = "develop")

to install “develop”. You may also want to consider installing the “main” branch, which is updated less frequently than “develop”. This may be installed with

remotes::install_github("dankelley/oceglider", ref = "main")

but note that it may lack some important new features (and bug fixes) that are to be found in “develop”. The authors work with “develop” from day to day, only merging to “main” occasionally.
