Overview

About

Maintained by Sylvain SchmittFirst published 2023-02-114 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

'TROLL' is coded in C++ and it typically simulates hundreds of thousands of individuals over hundreds of years. The 'rcontroll' R package is a wrapper of 'TROLL'. 'rcontroll' includes functions that generate inputs for simulations and run simulations. Finally, it is possible to analyse the 'TROLL' outputs through tables, figures, and maps taking advantage of other R visualisation packages. 'rcontroll' also offers the possibility to generate a virtual LiDAR point cloud that corresponds to a snapshot of the simulated forest.

Install

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

install.packages("rcontroll", 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("sylvainschmitt/rcontroll")

Development version from sylvainschmitt/rcontroll. 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-rcontroll

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-rcontroll

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

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