Overview

About

Maintained by Kwadwo Daddy Nyame Owusu BoakyeCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Enables Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows in R by combining local vector search using 'DuckDB' with optional web search via the 'Tavily' API. Supports 'OpenAI'- and 'Ollama'-compatible embedding models, full-text and 'HNSW' (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) indexing, and modular large language model (LLM) invocation. Designed for advanced question-answering, chat-based applications, and production-ready AI pipelines. This package is the R equivalent of the 'python' package 'RAGFlowChain' available at https://pypi.org/project/RAGFlowChain/.

Install

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

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

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

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

Development version from knowusuboaky/RAGFlowChainR. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-ragflowchainr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

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-RAGFlowChainR

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

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