Initial Release of ToxicR 1/28/2022.

Executable files are for R 4.1.2 in Windows/Mac(Intel/M1).

  • The macOS release is single threaded due to OpenMP issues.
  • The Windows release is multi-threaded
  • For Linux compiles GSL (2.6 or greater) and NLOPT (2.4 or greater) libraries need to be installed.
