How to add system dependency support for an R package

  1. Create a directory with the same name as the R package you are adding support for. The directory MUST BE case sensitive.
mkdir packages/[r_package_name]
  1. Create a bash script in the directory named install and give it executable permissions
touch packages/[r_package_name]/install
chmod 755 packages/[r_package_name]/install
  1. Write your install bash script to install all the dependencies of your R package. Be sure to include the following:
#!/bin/bash

set -x
set -e
  1. Create a test.R file in the same directory.
touch packages/[r_package_name]/test.R

  1. Write this R script to install the R package and run some basic code to ensure that the package is installed correctly and functional.

  2. Test your install by running this command:

make test-jammy-[r_package_name]
