Overview

About

Maintained by Kyle WalkerFirst published 2026-04-221 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Implements spatial optimization algorithms across several problem families including contiguity-constrained regionalization, discrete facility location, market share analysis, and least-cost corridor and route optimization over raster cost surfaces. Facility location problems also accept user-supplied network travel-time matrices. Uses a 'Rust' backend via 'extendr' for graph and routing algorithms, and the 'HiGHS' solver via the 'highs' package for facility location mixed-integer programs. Method-level references are provided in the documentation of the individual functions.

Install

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

install.packages("spopt", 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("walkerke/spopt-r")

Development version from walkerke/spopt-r. 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-spopt

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-spopt

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

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