install.packages("kofdata")
The easiest way to install the very latest version that might not have completed all checks (but contains the latest, hottest, most awesome, most exploratory, adventurous features) is to run:
devtools::install_github("KOF-ch/kofdata")
Note to those of you who do not use R regularly: in order to install directly from github make sure the devtools package is installed.
