install.packages("gllvm")

Or the development version of gllvm from github with the help of devtools package using:

devtools::install_github("JenniNiku/gllvm")

Getting started

For getting started with gllvm we recommend to read vignette Analysing multivariate abundance data using gllvm or introductions for using gllvm for ordination and for analysing species correlations.
