Overview

About

Maintained by Kyle WalkerCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Includes support for 'Mapbox' Navigation APIs, including directions, isochrones, and route optimization; the Search API for forward and reverse geocoding; the Maps API for interacting with 'Mapbox' vector tilesets and visualizing 'Mapbox' maps in R; and 'Mapbox Tiling Service' and 'tippecanoe' for generating map tiles. See https://docs.mapbox.com/api/ for more information about the 'Mapbox' APIs.

Install

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

install.packages("mapboxapi", 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("walkerke/mapboxapi")

Development version from walkerke/mapboxapi. 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-mapboxapi

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-mapboxapi

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
