Hi, how can i play around with my first selfwritten package [*] without to install it to my debian system? I think of something like doing this: /tmp/$ R R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) Copyright (C) 2010 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0> library(/tmp/sitools)3 * kilo [1] 3000 [*] https://github.com/jonasstein/sitools -- Jonas Stein <news at jonasstein.de>
Hi Jonas, Look at Hadley Wickham's devtools package. It is designed with this sort of thing. That said, it really is not too difficult to install as long as you have a working tool chain (which you will need to test it anyway). R CMD INSTALL /tmp/sitools R require(sitools) and away you go testing Cheers, Josh On Sun, Jan 15, 2012 at 4:51 PM, Jonas Stein <news at jonasstein.de> wrote:> Hi, > > how can i play around with my first selfwritten package [*] > without to install it to my debian system? > > I think of something like doing this: > > /tmp/$ R > R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) > Copyright (C) 2010 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing > ISBN 3-900051-07-0 > >> library(/tmp/sitools) > > 3 * kilo > [1] 3000 > > > [*] https://github.com/jonasstein/sitools > > -- > Jonas Stein <news at jonasstein.de> > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.-- Joshua Wiley Ph.D. Student, Health Psychology Programmer Analyst II, Statistical Consulting Group University of California, Los Angeles https://joshuawiley.com/
I don't believe you can. However, you need not install it into a system-wide library directory... your personal library (e.g. /home/jonas/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.14) should be sufficient. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
