Overview

About

Maintained by Patrice LecharpentierCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Manipulating input and output files of the 'STICS' crop model (Beaudouin et al. (2022) doi:10.35690/978-2-7592-3679-4). The package is based on the model software, which is accessible, as well as resources, on its web site https://stics.inrae.fr/eng/. Files are either 'JavaSTICS' XML files or text files used by the model 'fortran' executable. Most basic functionalities are reading or writing parameter names and values in both XML or text input files, and getting data from output files. Advanced functionalities include XML files generation from XML templates and/or spreadsheets, or text files generation from XML files by using 'xslt' transformation.

Install

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

install.packages("SticsRFiles", 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("SticsRPacks/SticsRFiles")

Development version from SticsRPacks/SticsRFiles. 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-sticsrfiles

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-SticsRFiles

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

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