- Windows: RGtk2 will automatically install GTK+ on Windows if necessary. To get the latest version, download and install the Gtk+/Win32 Runtime Environment from here (~6MB).
- GNU/Linux: GTK+ is usually included on desktop systems but may need to be updated.
- MacOS: a GTK+ installer is available from here (~25MB).
- Install the playwith package from CRAN:

install.packages("playwith")
Type help("playwith") for details and examples.
Troubleshooting
If you are using R on Windows you may find the playwith window disappears behind the "RGui" window. To avoid that, set RGui to run in "SDI" mode via Edit > GUI preferences; or just minimise the RGui window.
