Prerequisites

To run development modules etc., users will need to have installed R, Rstudio and SpaDES.

Install R

Windows

  1. Download and run the R installer (as administrator!) from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base.
  2. Download and install the latest Rtools (as administrator!) from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/. Be sure to check the "add rtools to PATH" option during installation.

macOS

  1. Download and run the R installer from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx.

  2. Install Xcode commandline tools from the terminal:

    xcode-select --install
  3. Install homebrew from the terminal (instructions at https://brew.sh/)

  4. Install GDAL and other spatial packages (instructions at https://www.alexchubaty.com/post/2020-01-08-using-latest-gdal-macos-redux/)

  5. Install OpenMP support for data.table:

    brew update && brew install llvm
  6. Install GLPK (needed for full igraph functionality; used with SpaDES.core::moduleGraph):

    brew install glpk

    Then, reinstall igraph from source so it is compiled with GLPK:

    install.packages("igraph", type = "source")

Linux

Install via apt or yum depending on your distribution. Instructions for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS are shown below.

  1. Install R and its development libraries:

    sudo apt install r-base r-base-dev
  2. Install java and configure R to use it:

    sudo apt build-dep -y r-cran-rjava
    sudo R CMD javareconf
  3. Install dependencies for spatial and other packages:

    sudo apt build-dep -y r-cran-tkrplot
    
    sudo apt-get install -y \
      ccache \
      gdal-bin \
      git \
      libcairo2-dev \
      libcurl4-gnutls-dev \
      libgdal-dev \
      libgeos-dev \
      libgit2-dev \
      libgmp-dev \
      libjq-dev \
      libmagick++-dev \
      libproj-dev \
      libprotobuf-dev \
      libprotoc-dev \
      libssh2-1-dev \
      libssl-dev \

Install Rstudio

Download and run the installer for your operating system from https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download.

Install SpaDES and other packages

Use the SpaDES.install package. Copied here, without instructions:

```r
if (!require("Require", quietly = TRUE)) {
  install.packages("Require")
  library(Require)
}

Require("PredictiveEcology/SpaDES.install@development")

installSpaDES() ## will install to your default librayr path; see .libPaths()

## adjust this as needed
modulePath <- "modules"
makeSureAllPackagesInstalled(modulePath)
```
