I want to use function "bbaplot" and "bbplot" within package uroot, but I recognised there is no package called uroot. Which package can I use instead of this? Thank you for your help.

So do you want to use it or not? Package uroot exists. http://uroot.r-forge.r-project.org/ – sashkello Apr 12 '13 at 13:33

Googling for `R package uroot` leads to the link given by @sashkello. – Paul Hiemstra Apr 12 '13 at 13:34

[Here](http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/uroot/) it shows the package has been removed. I'm guessing it didn't pass CRAN checks for R 3.0.0 and the user is using 3.0.0. This got a downvote but is actually a terrific question if rephrased. Something like how to build an archived package on R 3.0.0. – Tyler Rinker Apr 12 '13 at 13:35

1@TylerRinker That's a long way from this question... :) I didn't downvote though, but the question certainly should be rephrased. – sashkello Apr 12 '13 at 13:35

Agreed but I'm strongly encouraging the user to get this question there or it's doomed to be closed. – Tyler Rinker Apr 12 '13 at 13:36

I cannot download it, because this package is terminated. I think, the function "bbaplot" and "bbplot" were probably put to somewhere else, e.g. to another package, but I do not know the name of the new package. – Baltazár Tivadar Apr 12 '13 at 14:12

@Tyler Rinkers point that there is a more general issue in question here is well taken.
@hadleys answer (from the above link) is concise.
The following (slower) solution also worked for me and avoids the need to install devtools.
Download the version of interest from here, e.g. uroot_1.4-1.tar.gz (the most recent).
In R use setwd() to make sure you're in the same directory as this file.
(I like to copy and modify the output from getwd() to do this quickly).
Install as follows (borrowed from here on SO):
install.packages("uroot_1.4-1.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type="source")
Then make sure things are OK with:
require(uroot)
?bbaplot
My sessionInfo() output includes:
R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22)
Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
