checkBuildInstallSourcePackage

Description

check, build, and install local source package

Usage

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

Arguments

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)
