Require

Installing and Loading R Packages for Reproducible Workflows

v1.0.1 · Aug 17, 2024 · GPL-3
CRAN GitHub Mirror

Description

A single key function, 'Require' that makes rerun-tolerant versions of 'install.packages' and `require` for CRAN packages, packages no longer on CRAN (i.e., archived), specific versions of packages, and GitHub packages. This approach is developed to create reproducible workflows that are flexible and fast enough to use while in development stages, while able to build snapshots once a stable package collection is found. As with other functions in a reproducible workflow, this package emphasizes functions that return the same result whether it is the first or subsequent times running the function, with subsequent times being sufficiently fast that they can be run every time without undue waiting burden on the user or developer.
