The R
package drat
enables github
to behave as an R
repository that allows the use of install.packages()
.
This latter function checks for and automatically installs package dependencies.
To use:
install.packages("drat")
drat::addRepo("OHDSI") ## Could place in ~/.Rprofile
install.packages("PatientLevelPrediction", type = "source") ## Automatically installs dependencies
