Overview

About

Maintained by dos Santos CaioCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Support for a variety of commonly used precision agriculture operations. Includes functions to download and process raw satellite images from Sentinel-2 https://documentation.dataspace.copernicus.eu/APIs/OData.html. Includes functions that download vegetation index statistics for a given period of time, without the need to download the raw images https://documentation.dataspace.copernicus.eu/APIs/SentinelHub/Statistical.html. There are also functions to download and visualize weather data in a historical context. Lastly, the package also contains functions to process yield monitor data. These functions can build polygons around recorded data points, evaluate the overlap between polygons, clean yield data, and smooth yield maps.

Install

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

install.packages("pacu", 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("cldossantos/pacu")

Development version from cldossantos/pacu. 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-pacu

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-pacu

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

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