The primary goal of ronda is to simplify the conversion of R packages
into a format that can be easily installed and managed via Conda,
enhancing interoperability between R and other programming environments
supported by Conda.
You can install the development version of ronda from its source repository with:
# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("sales-lab/ronda")You will also need to install Miniconda. We recommend using the conda-forge installer, available at https://conda-forge.org/download/.
Once Miniconda is installed, activate the base environment and install
conda-build. The official
documentation
suggests installing it directly in the base environment for simplicity
and consistency.
Here’s a simple example of how to use ronda to build Conda packages
for some popular R packages.
library(ronda)
ronda_build(c("cli", "jsonlite"))
#> ℹ Building cli
#> ℹ Loading metadata database
#> ✔ Loading metadata database ... done
#>
#> ℹ Building cli
#> ✔ Built cli [4m 32.4s]
#>
#> ℹ Building jsonlite
#> ✔ Built jsonlite [3m 39s]Once the procedure is completed successfully, the packages will be
available in the conda-bld subdirectory of your main Conda
environment. You can use conda env list to locate this directory.
