# available

> available helps you name your R package.

- Checks for validity

- Checks not already available on GitHub, CRAN and Bioconductor

- Can suggest possible names based on text in the package title or description.

## Installation

You can install available from CRAN with:

```{r CRAN-installation, eval = FALSE}

install.packages("available")

```

Or the development version from GitHub with:

```{r gh-installation, eval = FALSE}

```
