Overview

About

Maintained by Shiyang ZhengFirst published 2026-04-302 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

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').

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.

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).
