The Github repository containing the elements package (https://github.com/NERC-CEH/elements) includes all files apart from the “./inst/extdata/Models” object containing all the ENMs as it is above the 100MB limit. Two example models (Silene flos-cuculi and Stellaria graminea) are bundled in the “./inst/testdata/TestModels” object, which is present in the Github repository.

To retrieve the elements package including the “Models” object download the latest version from Zenodo here - https://zenodo.org/records/15639307.

Alternatively, you can download the package using the zen4R R package from a particular DOI.

zen4R::download_zenodo("10.5281/zenodo.15639307", path = "path_to_file")

After retrieving the package to install elements run:

install.packages(file.path("path_to_file", "elements_0.5.4.tar.gz"), repos = NULL, type = "source")

Downloading and installing the package may take a few minutes.

Note: elements has two dependencies, e1071 and filehash, which must also be installed.
