# How can I get service and support?

GGIR documentation is openly available for users in several places:

- This dedicated website containing instructions to install, get started, and specific documentation on the GGIR pipeline and functionalities.

- Vignettes available on CRAN, containing an overview of GGIR and dedicated vignettes for some specific functionalities.

- The GGIR configuration parameters vignette explains each of the parameters that can be used in GGIR and how to use them.

- The GGIR function documentation, to which you can get access to directly from R:

    library(GGIR)
    ?GGIR

## 0.1 Question and problems

For general questions and issues please report in the GGIR google group.

However, if you are familiar with GitHub you are also welcome to report your issue via the GitHub issue tracker.

Note that support in these places is based on voluntary efforts and we encourage you to try and help other users with questions.

Questions are valuable as they help us understand the challenges you run into and they occasionally help us to identify a bug in the code. However, to make this practical it would be great if you doNOT send us your questions via personal messages. Posting on public platforms enables others to learn from the conversations, it reduces the chance that we have to answer the same question multiple times, it increases the chance that someone else can answer your question when we are not available, and it gives recognition for the voluntary time people put into answering questions.
