Simple Functions for Setting Up An R Source Code File For Use on Multiple Machines
When working across multiple machines and, similarly for reproducible research, it can be time consuming to ensure that you have all of the needed packages installed and loaded and that the correct working directory is set. simpleSetup provides simple functions for making these tasks more straightforward.
Currently it has two functions:
library_install for loading packages used in a
script and installing ones that are missing.
set_valid_wd search for and set a valid working
directory from a list of possible directories.
library(simpleSetup)
# Load packages, install if needed
packages <- c('networkD3', 'coreSim')
library_install(packages)
# Set valid working directory
possible_wd <- c('/examples/directory1', '/anotherExample/directory2')
set_valid_wd(possible_wd)The hitch is that users will have to install the setupPkg, but this is one quick installation, as the package has no dependencies.
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
