Overview

About

Maintained by Ella KayeFirst published 2025-04-081 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

From 'R' 4.5.0, the 'datasets' package includes the penguins and penguins_raw data sets popularised in the 'palmerpenguins' package. 'basepenguins' takes files that use the 'palmerpenguins' package and converts them to work with the versions from 'datasets' ('R' >= 4.5.0). It does this by removing calls to library(palmerpenguins) and making the necessary changes to column names. Additionally, it provides helper functions to define new files paths for saving the output and a directory of example files to experiment with.

# 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 dnf install -y R-CRAN-basepenguins

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

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