Overview

About

Maintained by Konrad RudolphCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗Declared funder: F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG

Use rprofile::load() inside a project '.Rprofile' file to ensure that the user-global '.Rprofile' is loaded correctly regardless of its location, and other common resources (in particular 'renv') are also set up correctly.

Changes in 0.4.0

Bug fixes

Prevent ‘rprofile’ from being included in the renv.lock file when a new ‘renv’ project is initialized.
Prevent breaking when no user R profile configuration exists.

Enhancements

Clean up hook function after invoking ‘rprofile’ dev package loader.
Disable the ‘renv’ auto-loader to prevent it from writing the autoload code, which conflicts with ‘rprofile’, to the project .Rprofile.
Warn if no default packages are configured or if they are already all attached after the user profile is run.
Allow users to customize how development packages are loaded (instead of pkgload::load_all(export_all = FALSE)).
Ensure that ‘methods’ is ignored during lazy-loading of dev packages, since it is loaded too early.

Install

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

install.packages("rprofile", 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("klmr/rprofile")

Development version from klmr/rprofile. 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-rprofile

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-rprofile

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

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

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-rprofile

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
