Overview

About

Maintained by Aurélien NicosiaCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Helps teachers convert existing '.Rmd' and '.qmd' teaching material into interactive tutorials for 'learnr' or 'quarto-live'. Conversion preserves narrative text, setup chunks, and major chunk options, supports teacher tags, and provides explicit validation and conversion reports. Output conventions follow 'learnr' as described by Aden-Buie et al. (2025) doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.learnr, 'quarto-live' as described by Stagg (2024) https://tidyverse.org/blog/2024/10/quarto-live-0-1-1/, and R Markdown as described by Xie, Allaire and Grolemund (2018, ISBN:9781138359338).

Changes in 0.4.5

CRAN resubmission

Addressed CRAN resubmission feedback by adding DESCRIPTION references, removing \dontrun{} examples, requiring explicit output destinations for writing helpers, and moving example/vignette writes to tempdir().
Refreshed CRAN-facing source build exclusions so local Git metadata and old check/build artifacts are not included in source archives.

Install

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

install.packages("tutorizeR", 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("AurelienNicosiaULaval/tutorizeR")

Development version from AurelienNicosiaULaval/tutorizeR. 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-tutorizer

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-tutorizeR

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-tutorizeR

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.
