Overview

About

Maintained by Brent EwingCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

An R to C/C++ interface that runs the Leiden community detection algorithm to find a basic partition (). It runs the equivalent of the 'leidenalg' find_partition() function, which is given in the 'leidenalg' distribution file 'leiden/src/functions.py'. This package includes the required source code files from the official 'leidenalg' distribution and functions from the R 'igraph' package. The 'leidenalg' distribution is available from https://github.com/vtraag/leidenalg/ and the R 'igraph' package is available from https://igraph.org/r/. The Leiden algorithm is described in the article by Traag et al. (2019) doi:10.1038/s41598-019-41695-z. Leidenbase includes code from the packages: igraph version 0.9.8 with license GPL (>= 2), leidenalg version 0.8.10 with license GPL 3.

Install

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

install.packages("leidenbase", 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("cole-trapnell-lab/leidenbase")

Development version from cole-trapnell-lab/leidenbase. 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-leidenbase

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-leidenbase

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-leidenbase

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.
