Overview

About

Maintained by Peter RanacherFirst published 2026-03-241 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides programmatic access to Glottography, an online repository of geospatial speaker-area polygons for the world's languages. The package allows users to list available datasets, download and install them, and load speaker-area polygons as standard spatial 'sf' objects in R. Data are sourced from either the Glottography organization on GitHub https://github.com/Glottography or the Glottography community on Zenodo https://zenodo.org/communities/glottography. Based on Ranacher et al. (2026) doi:10.5334/johd.459.

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

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

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-Rglottography

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

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

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-Rglottography
