About

Utilities for paths, files and directories.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/pathological/pathological_0.1-2.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "pathological_0.1-2.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1-2) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("richierocks/pathological")

Development version from richierocks/pathological. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
