checkBuildInstallSourcePackage

Description

check, build, and install local source package

Usage

checkBuildInstallSourcePackage(dir, packs, packCheck, autoLibrary = FALSE)

Arguments

dir	character string containing the path name of the directory holding the package folders
packs	character vector of the names of the packages
packCheck	character vector of the names of the packages to check()
autoLibrary	Boolean if TRUE automate library() command altering search path

Details

I wanted to include "library(packs)" in the program, but this is not allowed. The user can "cat" the return value and copy and paste to facilitate doing this manually.

Value

returns a list whose components are

• character string that can be printed using "echo" and then copy and paste by the user to load or update the packages

• return value of dateTable()

Examples

## Not run: 
# you need to specify dir, packs that are on your own computer !!
dir1<-"~/personal/hearts/hearts_card_game_bayesian_inference"
dir2<-"packages/inference_packages/inference_packages/"
packs<-c("cardUtils","clickableImageMap")
l<-checkBuildInstallSourcePackage(sprintf("%s/%s",dir1,dir2),packs,packs,TRUE)

## End(Not run)
