Overview

About

Maintained by Edwin de JongeCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Extends the out of memory vectors of 'ff' with statistical functions and other utilities to ease their usage.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/ffbase/ffbase_0.13.3.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "ffbase_0.13.3.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 (0.13.3) 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("edwindj/ffbase")

Development version from edwindj/ffbase. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
