Overview

About

Maintained by Yue HuFirst published 2021-02-235 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A tool to conquer the difficulties to convert various region names and administration division codes of Chinese regions. The current version enables seamlessly converting Chinese regions' formal names, common-used names, and codes between each other at the city level from 1986 to 2019.

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-regioncode

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

  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-regioncode

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

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