Overview

About

Maintained by Shiyang ZhengCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

An 'RStudio' addin that integrates large language model (LLM) assistance directly into the code-editing workflow. Features include: (1) generate R code from inline comments; (2) obtain LLM-assisted fixes for console errors; (3) insert plain-English explanations of selected code blocks; (4) a multi-turn Chat Panel with session-context awareness (loaded packages, global objects, source editor contents, console history). Supports 'OpenAI', 'Anthropic' (Claude), 'DeepSeek', 'Groq', 'Together AI', 'OpenRouter', 'Ollama' (fully local, no API key required), and any 'OpenAI'-compatible custom endpoint (e.g. 'LM Studio', 'vLLM', 'llama.cpp').

Install

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

install.packages("llmcoder", 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("ShiyangZheng/llmcoder")

Development version from ShiyangZheng/llmcoder. 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-llmcoder

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-llmcoder

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-llmcoder

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.
