A template model module, tools to help find model modules
derived from this template and a programming syntax to use these
modules in health economic analyses.  These elements are the
foundation for a prototype software framework for developing living
and transferable models and using those models in reproducible health
economic analyses. The software framework is extended by other R
libraries.  For detailed documentation about the framework and how to
use it visit <https://www.ready4-dev.com/>. For a background to the
methodological issues that the framework is attempting to help solve,
see Hamilton et al. (2024) <https://doi.org/10.1007/s40273-024-01378-8>.

To install a development version of this software, run the following commands in your R console:

```r
utils::install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("ready4-dev/ready4")

```
