New procedure required for installing BRugs and OpenBUGS


Before R 2.14, OpenBUGS came packaged with BRugs, so all you had to do was install BRugs, and OpenBUGS magically came along for the ride. Now, you must install OpenBUGS as a separate step in the process. Of course, if you are using JAGS, you do not need to install OpenBUGS or BRugs. But if you want to use BRugs and OpenBUGS, here's what to do:

1. Install R from this site. Use the 32-bit Windows version.
2. Install OpenBUGS from this site.
3. Invoke R (32-bit Windows), and type install.packages("BRugs")

I recommend using JAGS instead, as explained at this previous blog post.
