## :arrow_double_down: Installation

Get the released version from Bioconductor:

```r
## try http:// if https:// URLs are not supported
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
## BiocManager::install("BiocUpgrade") ## you may need this
BiocManager::install("GOSemSim")
```

Or the development version from github:

```r
## install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("GuangchuangYu/GOSemSim")
```
