Overview

About

Maintained by James Boyle DeveloperFirst published 2017-06-151 releasesCRAN page ↗

Calculates and analyzes six measures of geographic range from a set of longitudinal and latitudinal occurrence data. Measures included are minimum convex hull area, minimum spanning tree distance, longitudinal range, latitudinal range, maximum pairwise great circle distance, and number of X by X degree cells occupied.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("GeoRange", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-georange

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-GeoRange

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
