## Compare To

- (https://github.com/rmscriven/retrosheet): last commit was 2015; not on CRAN; does not require `chadwick`

- (https://github.com/davidbmitchell/Baseball-PostgreSQL): Only for PostgreSQL; also requires `chadwick`

## Installing Chadwick

On Ubuntu:

```{bash, eval=FALSE} 

# download the source code

wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/chadwick/files/chadwick-0.7/chadwick-0.7.2/chadwick-0.7.2.tar.gz -P /tmp

# unzip it

tar xvzf chadwick-0.7.2.tar.gz

# change directory

cd chadwick-0.7.2

# setup the source code for compilation

./configure

# build it from scratch

make

# install it

sudo make install

# set the linker path so it will actually work

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

```

```

Libraries have been installed in:

   /usr/local/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries

in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and

specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'

flag during linking and do at least one of the following:

   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable

     during execution

   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable

     during linking

   - use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag

   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

```
