Step 1 (Windows): Download/Install extRemes and ismev
  • Open an R session.
  • From R session, select Install package(s) from CRAN... from the Packages menu. Find "extRemes", select it and click OK. R will do the rest (when it asks whether or not to delete downloaded files, type 'y' for yes). Repeat these steps, but this time choose "ismev" instead of "extRemes".










    Step 2: Loading extRemes (and ismev) into R (Windows)

    Open R and follow the instructions below.

    Note that the toolkit depends on the Tcl/Tk software as well as the ismev package. If the R Tcl/Tk interface package, tcltk, does not load with the extRemes package then please refer to the Windows FAQ on the     R project website or to the tutorial for instructions on how to get this package up and running.:

    > library( extRemes)

    Assuming all necessary packages are successfully loaded, the Extremes Toolkit main dialog window will launch immediately. If at any time this main window is closed, it can be re-opened by the command:

    > extremes.gui()

    If the main toolkit window does not appear or most of the functions do not work, then please refer to the trouble shooting section.
