Overview

About

Maintained by Marcelo Perlin1 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Includes functions for finding and installing used R packages from local scripts and Rmarkdown files.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/PkgsFromFiles/PkgsFromFiles_0.5.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "PkgsFromFiles_0.5.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.5) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("msperlin/PkgsFromFiles")

Development version from msperlin/PkgsFromFiles. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
