Installation plans

Description

An installation plan contains all data that is needed to install a set of package files. It is usually created from an installation proposal with solving the dependencies and downloading the package files.

Details

It is also possible to create an installation plan a different way. An installation plan object must be a data frame, with at least the following columns:

• package: The name of the package.

• type: The type of the package reference.

• binary: Whether the package is a binary package.

• file: Full path to the package file or directory.

• dependencies: A list column that lists the names of the dependent packages for each package.

• needscompilation: Whether the package needs compilation. This should be FALSE for binary packages.

For installation plans created via pkg_installation_proposal, the plan contains all columns from pkg_download_result objects, and some additional ones:

• library: the library the package is supposed to be installed to.

• direct: whether the package was directly requested or it is installed as a dependency.

• vignettes: whether the vignettes need to be (re)built.

• packaged: whether ⁠R CMD build⁠ was already called for the package.
