rfacts
has strict system dependencies.
Before you can use rfacts
to simulate trials in R, you must specify the paths to all these executable files in a CSV file. You can see an example CSV file at inst/example_paths.csv
in the rfacts
package source.
path <- system.file("example_paths.csv", package = "rfacts")
writeLines(readLines(path))

executable_type
: Must be "mono", "flfll", or "engine" to denote the general type of the executable.facts_version
: The version of FACTS with which this executable is compatible.path
: File path to the executable.engine_name
: For engines only. Name of the engine. Must be one of the engine types in the example CSV file at system.file("example_paths.csv", package = "rfacts")
.param_set
: For engines only. Parameter set designation listed in the XML code of FACTS files for that engine.param_type
: For engines only. Parameter type designation listed in the XML code of FACTS files for that engine.rfacts
to the system dependenciesTo allow rfacts
to find the CSV file above, you must set the RFACTS_PATHS
environment variable. For a single R session, you can do this with Sys.setenv(RFACTS_PATHS = "path/to/file.csv")
. To set RFACTS_PATHS
permanently for all future sessions, open your .Renviron
file with usethis::edit_r_environ()
and add a line with RFACTS_PATHS=path/to/file.csv
. Then, restart R so the changes take effect. Verify that you did this correctly by checking the value of the environment variable.
Sys.getenv("RFACTS_PATHS")
#> [1] "/tmp/RtmpmVNWMt/Rinst24627673cd7a/rfacts/example_paths.csv"
Check the system dependency information with rfacts_paths()
.

Use rfacts_sitrep()
to verify that all the executables exist and are indeed executable. This vignette uses toy paths that do not actually exist. In your setup, if exists
and is_executable
are all TRUE
, then your setup is configured correctly.

If you change RFACTS_PATHS
, you need to call reset_rfacts_paths()
or restart R in order for the changes to take effect.
