Dear List,
What I am seeking advice for is how to best package an R installation
with all the packages required?
Scenario:
I need to deliver an R script which will have quite a bit of package
dependencies, to packages which are not necessarily stable, are not on
cran and might dissapear in the near future. It should be possible to
execute the R-script without any changes during the next 3 years.
What I did look into is packrat. But if I am correct it pulls the
r-packages from cran so if a package was from somewhere else or isn't
available anymore it will fail.
what I have also found is R on an USB stick:
http://personal.bgsu.edu/~mrizzo/Rmisc/usbR.htm
Would this work?
Or is there anything on the lines of pyinstaller
(http://www.pyinstaller.org/) for R?
What OS are you targetting? If it's for Windows, there are instructions
in the R Installation and Administration manual for building a custom
installer.
