Package environment support for PIAM

R package piamenv, version 0.8.0

Purpose and Functionality

Enables easier management of package environments, based on renv and conda.

Installation

For installation of the most recent package version an additional repository has to be added in R:

options(repos = c(CRAN = "@CRAN@", pik = "https://rse.pik-potsdam.de/r/packages"))

The additional repository can be made available permanently by adding the line above to a file called .Rprofile stored in the home folder of your system (Sys.glob("~") in R returns the home directory).

After that the most recent version of the package can be installed using install.packages:

install.packages("piamenv")

Package updates can be installed using update.packages (make sure that the additional repository has been added before running that command):

update.packages()
