disable()

Details

To enable rspm permanently, include the following into your .Rprofile:

suppressMessages(rspm::enable())

Value

No return value, called for side effects.

See Also

renv_init for renv projects.

Examples

## Not run: 
# install 'units' and all its dependencies from the system repos
rspm::enable()
install.packages("units")

# install packages again from CRAN
rspm::disable()
install.packages("errors")

## End(Not run)

Usage

install_sysreqs()

missing_sysreqs()

Value

install_sysreqs: No return value, called for side effects.

missing_sysreqs: A list of missing libraries, for debugging.

Initialize an renv Project

Description

Usage

renv_init(...)

Arguments

...	Arguments to be passed to renv::init().

Details

Note that, if renv::install or renv::update are called directly, then rspm::install_sysreqs() needs to be called manually.

Value

The project directory, invisibly. This function is called for its side effects.

Examples

## Not run: 
# initialize a new project (with an empty R library)
rspm::renv_init()

# install 'units' and all its dependencies from the system repos
install.packages("units")

# install a specific version and install dependencies manually
renv::install("[email protected]")
rspm::install_sysreqs()

## End(Not run)
