*`ALA4R` is deprecated and will be removed from CRAN at the end of 2021. The package to replace ALA4R, `galah`, is now [available on CRAN](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=galah). `galah` provides an improved interface to ALA data, while providing the same core functionality as ALA4R. For an introduction to `galah`, visit the [GitHub page](https://github.com/AtlasOfLivingAustralia/galah).*

The Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) provides tools to enable users of biodiversity information to find, access, combine and visualise data on Australian plants and animals; these have been made available from https://www.ala.org.au/. Here we provide a subset of the tools to be directly used within R.

ALA4R enables the R community to directly access data and resources hosted by the ALA.

The use-examples presented at the [2014 ALA Science Symposium](https://www.ala.org.au/blogs-news/2014-atlas-of-living-australia-science-symposium/) are available in the package vignette, via (in R): `vignette("ALA4R")`, or [browse it online](https://atlasoflivingaustralia.github.io/ALA4R/articles/ALA4R.html).

## Citing ALA4R 
To generate a citation for ALA4R run: 
```r
citation(package = "ALA4R")
```

## Installing

Stable version from CRAN:

```{r eval=FALSE}
install.packages("ALA4R")
```

Or the development version from GitHub:

```{r eval=FALSE}
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ALA4R")
```

On Linux you will first need to ensure that `libcurl` and `v8` (version <= 3.15) are installed on your system --- e.g. on Ubuntu/Debian, open a terminal and do:

```{sh eval=FALSE}
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libv8-3.14-dev
```
or install via the Software Centre.


## Usage

See the online documentation at https://atlasoflivingaustralia.github.io/ALA4R/ including the [package vignette](https://atlasoflivingaustralia.github.io/ALA4R/articles/ALA4R.html).
