osrm_uninstall: Uninstall OSRM Backend Binaries

In osrm.backend: Bindings for 'Open Source Routing Machine'

Uninstall OSRM Backend Binaries

Description

Removes the OSRM backend binaries and optionally clears the PATH configuration from the project's .Rprofile.

Usage

osrm_uninstall(
  dest_dir = NULL,
  clear_path = TRUE,
  quiet = FALSE,
  all = FALSE,
  force = FALSE
)

Arguments

dest_dir	A string specifying the directory from which to remove OSRM binaries. If NULL (the default), the function looks for an installation in the per-version subdirectories inside tools::R_user_dir("osrm.backend", which = "cache") and removes it. When multiple versions are installed, interactive sessions that are not quiet will be prompted (with a numbered menu and 0 to cancel) to choose a directory; otherwise, dest_dir must be supplied. Ignored if all = TRUE.
clear_path	A logical value. If TRUE (default), also removes the PATH configuration from the project's .Rprofile by calling osrm_clear_path().
quiet	A logical value. If TRUE, suppresses informational messages and confirmation prompts. Defaults to FALSE.
all	A logical value. If TRUE, removes all OSRM installations found in the default cache directory. Will prompt for confirmation unless force = TRUE. Defaults to FALSE. When TRUE, the dest_dir parameter is ignored.
force	A logical value. If TRUE, skips all confirmation prompts, enabling non-interactive usage. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

TRUE if one or more directories were successfully removed, and FALSE otherwise.

Examples

if (identical(Sys.getenv("OSRM_EXAMPLES"), "true")) {
  # Install OSRM temporarily
  install_dir <- osrm_install(path_action = "session", quiet = TRUE)

  # Uninstall that specific version and clear PATH changes
  osrm_uninstall(
    dest_dir = install_dir,
    clear_path = TRUE,
    force = TRUE,
    quiet = TRUE
  )

  # If multiple installs exist, remove them all
  osrm_uninstall(all = TRUE, force = TRUE, quiet = TRUE)
}
