Overview

About

Maintained by Nicholas MaselCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗Declared funder: Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine

The purpose of this package is to support the setup the R environment. The two main features are 'autos', to automatically source files and/or directories into your environment, and 'paths' to consistently set path objects across projects for input and output. Both are implemented using a configuration file to allow easy, custom configurations that can be used for multiple or all projects.

Changes in 0.3.0

paths no are no longer attached to the search path (#80)
paths objects default to the global environment now, but they can be changed using the envsetup.path.environment option (#80)
get_path() was added to help you retrieve a path with changing the storage environment using the envsetup.path.environment option (#80)
autos are no longer attached to the search path, and are sourced to global (#81)
rprofile lets you specify if sourcing of autos should overwrite an object in global if it already exists (#81)
extensive messaging added to make users aware of autos being attached and conflicts (#81)
object metadata storage is added to track what functions were sourced from where, see envsetup_environment$object_metadata (#81)
vignettes updated to divide content into smaller chunks (#82)

Install

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

install.packages("envsetup", 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("pharmaverse/envsetup")

Development version from pharmaverse/envsetup. 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-envsetup

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-envsetup

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

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

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-envsetup

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
