Install Archived RQDA

Description

Install RQDA from CRAN archives and at the same time installing its core dependencies mainly, RGtk2, cairoDevice, gWidgets, and gWidgetsRGtk2. Where necessary, compatible versions of R and Rtools are also installed.

Usage

install(type = c("binary", "source"), verbose = FALSE)

install_rgtk2_and_deps(type = c("binary", "source"), verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

type	A string, one of binary or source.
verbose	logical.

Details

The install function carries out wholesale installation of all the packages required by RQDA, before actually installing it.

install_rgtk2_and_deps installs RGtk2. Before doing so, it fetches the Gtk+ distribution, making it available for RGtk2. When a source installation is used, GTK is required for compiling RGtk2 (and cairoDevice); for the binary installation, Gtk+ is required for proper usage of RGtk2. Additionally, if compatible versions of R (i.e. 4.0 to 4.1) or Rtools (4.0) are not available on the machine, these will also be installed, but only in an interactive session (Windows only).

Note

The binary option will download RGtk2 from non-CRAN repository, while RQDA, cairoDevice, gWidgets, and gWidgetsRGtk2 are downloaded as source packages from the CRAN archive.

Examples

# install RQDA (and dependencies) using defaults
## Not run: install()

# install all from source, verbosely
## Not run: install("source", TRUE)
