Overview

About

Maintained by Christofer Backlin6 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Tools for deciphering the contents of unknown objects or environments from within the terminal, a problem often encountered when working with unfamiliar packages or debugging complex functions. If working in xterm256 or ANSI terminals the output is coloured by default to improve readability (e.g. the standard Ubuntu terminal).

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/dataview/dataview_2.1.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "dataview_2.1.1.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 (2.1.1) 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("backlin/dataview")

Development version from backlin/dataview. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
