Overview

About

Maintained by Mario Annau10 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

S4 Interface to the 'HDF5' library supporting fast storage and retrieval of R-objects like vectors, matrices and arrays to binary files in a language independent format. The 'HDF5' format can therefore be used as an alternative to R's save/load mechanism. Since h5 is able to access only subsets of stored data it can also handle data sets which do not fit into memory.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/h5/h5_0.9.9.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "h5_0.9.9.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 (0.9.9) 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("mannau/h5")

Development version from mannau/h5. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
