Overview

About

Maintained by Peng ZhaoCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Displays a pseudorandom message from a database of quotations. It works as an advanced version of the package 'fortunes', while 'sinx' supports multi-byte languages such as Chinese. The databases of 'sinx' can be given in markdown format, which is easier and more friendly than spread sheets for users.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/sinx/sinx_0.0.13.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "sinx_0.0.13.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 (0.0.13) 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("pzhaonet/sinx")

Development version from pzhaonet/sinx. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
