Install the easystats suite from R-universe (GitHub) or CRAN

Source: R/install_easystats.R
install_latest.Rd

This function can be used to install all the easystats packages, either latest development versions (from R-universe/GitHub) or the current versions from CRAN. If the development versions are installed, packages will be installed from the stable branch (master/main) for each package.

Usage

install_latest(
  source = "development",
  packages = "all",
  force = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

source

Character. Either "development", "cran" or "github". If "cran", packages will be installed from the default CRAN mirror returned by getOption("repos")['CRAN']. If "development" (the default), packages are installed from the R-universe repository (https://easystats.r-universe.dev/). "github" installs the latest version from the GitHub-repositories main-branch. However, this option is usually not needed, because R-universe provides latest binaries. Use the "github" option only when R-universe servers are unavailable.

packages

Character vector, indicating which packages to be installed. By default, the option "all" will install all easystats packages.

force

Logical, if FALSE, only those packages with a newer version number will be installed. Use force=TRUE to force installation of all packages, even if the version number for the locally installed packages is identical to the latest development-versions. Only applies when source="development".

verbose

Toggle messages.

Value

Invisible NULL.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# install latest development-version of easystats packages from
# the r-universe repository, but only those packages that have newer
# versions available
install_latest()

# install all latest development-version of easystats packages from
# the r-universe repository, no matter whether local installations
# are up to date or not.
install_latest(force = TRUE)
