Looking at the TMC13 manual ...
The manual contains information on installation, usage of the script, installation testing and some theoretical background. It can be downloaded without installing the TMC13 script from here (right mouse click). Beyond that, the manual will automatically be copied to the TMC13/text directory during installation.

Before TMC installation ...

  • The TMC13 script requires an installed R version >= 4.1.1.
  • The TMC13 script needs the packages "date", "mgcv", "RColorBrewer" and "stringr". The script tries to install them if are are not yet present. It tries to download these packages without user interaction from the (German) CRAN mirror https://ftp.fau.de/cran/. However, the settings on the user's computer may prevent this operation. In that case the user has to install these packages manually from a convenient mirror using the "packages" item of the R menu.

Recommended way of installation:

  • Download the installation programme Install_TMC13.R into the directory where you desire TMC to install (recommendation: call it "TMC13"). Downloading can be started by a right mouse click.
  • Open the installation programme with R. Details about the action of the installation file are given in the beginning of the file. Details on TMC13 are given in the manual, which will be automatically installed under TMC13/txt.
  • Execute the installation file.
  • Do the installation test as indicated in the manual under 2.4.

Alternative way of installation:

  • Download the TMC13 programme zip file TMC13_public_2022-11-15.zip into the directory where you desire TMC to install (recommendation: call it "TMC13")
  • Extract all zip file components to the directory into which you desire to install TMC
  • Details on installation and operation of TMC13 are given in the manual, which is located in TMC13/txt.
  • Do the installation test as indicated in the manual under 2.4
