outsider: outsider: Install and run programs, outside of R, inside of R

Description Details

Description

The outsider package facilitates the installation and running of external software by interfacing with docker (https://www.docker.com/). External software are contained within mini-R-packages, called "outsider modules" and can be installed directly to a user's computer through online code-sharing services such as GitHub (https://github.com/). The outsider package comes with a series of functions for identifying, installing and importing these outsider modules.
