refreshPackage: Installer and loader of a package, either local or from...

Description Usage Arguments See Also

refreshPackage takes a path to a file or folder, or a URL, determines whether it exists, and installs it. In order for local source to be used, the path given must exist locally and local must be true. Once the package given by packPath is installed, this function attempts to load the package, using either a given name or an inferred one. If no name is given and the name inference strategy employed fails to yield a viable package name candidate, then the attempt to load the package is skipped.

1 2	refreshPackage(packPath, local = TRUE, name = NULL, nameFromUrl = NULL, load = TRUE, force = FALSE)

`packPath`	Path to the package to install and load.
`local`	Use local source for the installation, default `TRUE`.
`name`	Name for the package to load, or a strategy with which it is to be inferred. If omitted, then the package is simply reinstalled, not also reloaded.
`nameFromUrl`	Strategy with which to infer package name from URL, optional; this is only used if `local` is `FALSE`. Omit to only reinstall and skip reload.
`load`	Whether to load the package into the global environment if it was successfully located and installed.
`force`	Whether to force installation even if there's no hash delta.
