Introduction

birdhousebuilder.recipe.r is a Buildout recipe to install R Project packages with Anaconda.

Usage

The recipe requires that Anaconda is already installed. It assumes that Anaconda is installed at the default location in your home directory ~/anaconda. Otherwise you need to set the Buildout option anaconda-home to the correct location.

It installs the r package from a conda channel with additional packages from a given R repository. R will then be available in Anaconda ~/anaconda/bin/R.

The recipe depends on birdhousebuilder.recipe.conda.

Supported options

The recipe supports the following options:

anaconda-home

Buildout option with the root folder of the Anaconda installation. Default: $HOME/anaconda.

repo

R Project repository with R packages.

pkgs

List of R packages which should be installed (space separated).

on-update

If set to false don’t update R packages on buildout update. Default: false.

Example usage

Example usage in your buildout.cfg to install R with Anaconda and additional R packages (sp, raster, ncdf) from a R repository:

[buildout]
parts = r_pkgs

anaconda-home = /home/myself/anaconda

[r_pkgs]
recipe = birdhousebuilder.recipe.r
repo = http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/misc/cran
pkgs = sp raster ncdf
on-update = false
