In rlibkriging: Kriging Models using the 'libKriging' Library

This repository is just a wrapper to emulate a "standard" R package from https://github.com/libKriging/bindings/R/rlibkriging content, so you can install it just using:

install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github("libKriging/rlibkriging")

# Or install a specific tagged version
devtools::install_github("libKriging/rlibkriging@0.9-3")

Note: When installing via install_github(), the package automatically initializes git submodules (src/libK, src/slapack) at the correct versions using the pinned commits recorded in tools/gitmodules-shas. This ensures you get the exact versions of dependencies that were used when the release was tagged.

The stable version is available from CRAN :

install.packages('rlibkriging')

Requirements

• c++ and cmake, should be installed using:
• Linux/OSX: brew/apt/yum/... install cpp cmake
• Windows: install Rtools (see https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/) Note:
  • R>=4.2 & Rtools>=42 are required for this 'devtools::install_github'
  • for older R/Rtools, refer to manual install: https://github.com/libKriging/libKriging#compilation-for-linuxmacwindows-using-r-toolchain

Note: this repository mainly contains modified Makefiles, inspired by https://github.com/astamm/nloptr wrapper.

CRAN

When submitting to CRAN, ./tools/setup.sh should be run before R CMD build rlibkriging to fit CRAN policy.

Submodule Version Management

For maintainers: when updating submodules, always run ./tools/update_submodule_shas.sh to record the new commit SHAs. This ensures users who install via install_github() get the correct submodule versions. See SUBMODULE_VERSION_MANAGEMENT.md for details.
