Overview

About

Maintained by Mark V. BravingtonCRAN page ↗

Debugger for R functions, with code display, graceful error recovery, line-numbered conditional breakpoints, access to exit code, flow control, and full keyboard input.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/debug/debug_1.3.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "debug_1.3.1.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 (1.3.1) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
