1/ as pointed out in issue 2, the dependency packages are not automatically installed.

2/ the installation aborted because GTK+ was not installed. I installed it using the link that was proposed in the error message http://r.research.att.com/libs/GTK_2.24.17-X11.pkg

3/ GTK+ does not seem to work as a stand alone on Mac OS. When I retried to install explora, I got a message telling me to update X11 which is a window system (X.Org) . I tried installing this package but was told that this update requires Mac OS 10.7

It actually seems that X11 is no longer supported by apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5293) and that the project now relies on an open-source project XQuartz http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/. After installing XQuartz-2.7.7, the installation of Explora aborted all the same, with the following message

install.packages("~/Downloads/explora.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
Avis dans untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir, restore_times) : skipping pax global extended headers
ERROR: failed to lock directory ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/library’ for modifying
Try removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/library/00LOCK-explora-0.1.0’
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘/Users/elizabetharnaud/Downloads/explora.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

Given the time I had, I did not attempt something else to install Explora.
