+that I am not the maintainer of this page</em>) makes it possible 
+to use <code>devtools</code> package installation method to install the 
+development version of the package <code>soiltexture</code>. It can be 
+an interesting solution when using a version of R that is 
+different from the one installed on <code>r-forge</code> (newer or older).</p>

+<h3>Install devtools (and maybe RTools)</h3>

+<h3>Install soiltexture using devtools</h3>
+
+<p>Open R and type:</p>
+
+<pre><code>devtools::install_github("rforge/soiltexture/pkg/soiltexture")
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Notice that you can install in the same way the package 
+<code>soiltexturetransformation</code> by Wei Shangguan:</p>
+
+<pre><code>devtools::install_github("rforge/soiltexture/pkg/soiltexturetransformation")
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>For technical reason this package does not compile on <code>r-forge</code> 
+(because of a dependency on <code>drc</code> that used to be on <code>r-forge</code> 
+but is now developed outside of <code>r-forge</code>).</p>
