Overview

About

Maintained by Brent EwingFirst published 2022-02-2216 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

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.

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).
