Overview

About

Maintained by Rich FitzJohnCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

A 'hiredis' wrapper that includes support for transactions, pipelining, blocking subscription, serialisation of all keys and values, 'Redis' error handling with R errors. Includes an automatically generated 'R6' interface to the full 'hiredis' API. Generated functions are faithful to the 'hiredis' documentation while attempting to match R's argument semantics. Serialisation must be explicitly done by the user, but both binary and text-mode serialisation is supported.

Install

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

install.packages("redux", 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("richfitz/redux")

Development version from richfitz/redux. 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-redux

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-redux

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

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