-The development version of blavaan (containing updates not yet on CRAN) can be installed via the command below. Compilation is required; this may be a problem for users who currently rely on a binary version of blavaan from CRAN. A potential alternative is to install a binary from [the r-universe repo](https://ecmerkle.r-universe.dev/blavaan), which stays up to date with this repo.
