Overview

About

Maintained by Atharv BhosekarFirst published 2024-03-288 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Read, analyze, modify, and write 'GAMS' (General Algebraic Modeling System) data. The main focus of 'gamstransfer' is the highly efficient transfer of data with 'GAMS' https://www.gams.com/, while keeping these operations as simple as possible for the user. The transfer of data usually takes place via an intermediate GDX (GAMS Data Exchange) file. Additionally, 'gamstransfer' provides utility functions to get an overview of 'GAMS' data and to check its validity.

Install

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

install.packages("gamstransfer", 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("GAMS-dev/transfer-r")

Development version from GAMS-dev/transfer-r. 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-gamstransfer

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

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-gamstransfer

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

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