# Umbrella for easy installation This is an umbrella package that enables easy installation of all packages in the **alabaster** framework. It allows users to pull down all relevant packages with a single `BiocManager::install()` call, allowing them to (un)serialize every known resource. Of course, the flipside is that the R installation may now contain a lot of transitive dependencies that are not really necessary. Advanced users or developers may prefer to install individual _alabaster_ packages based on their use cases.
