anyLib {anyLib}

Install and load any library

Description

Made to make your life simpler with packages/libraries, by installing and loading a list of packages, whether they are on CRAN, Bioconductor or github. For github, if you do not have the full path, with the maintainer name in it (e.g. "achateigner/topReviGO"), it will not be able to install it. However, once installed you only need the name of the package. For more details see the help vignette: vignette("help", package = "anyLib")

Usage

anyLib(pkg, force = FALSE, autoUpdate = TRUE, lib = .libPaths()[1],
  loadLib = .libPaths(), source = FALSE)

Arguments

pkg

The package name or the list containing the packages names.

force

To force reinstallation of packages.

autoUpdate

To select whether Bioconductor packages auto update or not.

lib

Where to install the packages

loadLib

From where the packages are loaded

source

The package to install is a local source file, on the user disk.

Details

The source option can be a single TRUE or FALSE, or a vector of TRUE and FALSE corresponding to the vector/list of packages. E.g. if source == c(TRUE, FALSE), the first package will be considered as a source file. The file has to be a tar.gz source file, not a binary.

Value

A named vector of booleans showing if the package is loaded properly

Examples

# Install and load 1 package from a local source file, which name is in an object:
lib <- normalizePath(tempdir(), "/")
listOfPackages <- system.file("dummyPackage_0.1.0.tar.gz", package="anyLib")
anyLib(listOfPackages, force = TRUE, autoUpdate = FALSE, lib = lib,
loadLib = lib, source = TRUE)
