Overview

About

Maintained by Andrew Redd1 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides functions for quickly looking at summary statistics for variables in a data set.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/cursory/cursory_1.0.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "cursory_1.0.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.0.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

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

Development version from halpo/cursory. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
