Manage dependencies

Install, remove or update the R package dependencies of your Rhino project.

Usage

pkg_install(packages)

pkg_remove(packages)

Arguments

packages

Character vector of package names.

Value

None. This functions are called for side effects.

Details

Use pkg_install() to install or update a package to the latest version. Use pkg_remove() to remove a package.

These functions will install or remove packages from the local {renv} library, and update the dependencies.R and renv.lock files accordingly, all in one step. The underlying {renv} functions can still be called directly for advanced use cases. See the Explanation: Renv configuration to learn about the details of the setup used by Rhino.

  # Install dplyr
