Overview

About

Maintained by Ken AhoCRAN page ↗

Provides indices and tools for directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), particularly DAG representations of intermittent streams. A detailed introduction to the package can be found in the publication: "Non-perennial stream networks as directed acyclic graphs: The R-package streamDAG" (Aho et al., 2023) doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2023.105775, and in the introductory package vignette.

Install

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

install.packages("streamDAG", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

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-streamdag

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-streamDAG

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

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