Hakai R Package

hakaiR

Introduction

The purpose of this package is to:

• facilitate collaborative development of custom functions for summarizing and analyzing Hakai data;
• produce versioned sets of data and functions to ensure analytical reproducibility;
• serve as a formal framework for open science data sharing, collaboration, and contribution

As new articles and functions are available, this package will be updated and new versions will be released. Check back to see if the package is updated before starting or finalizing an analysis. In the Changelog section of this website you can find release notes about changes to the package functions and data.

If you would like to suggest improvements, features, or bug fixes to this package please do so at https://github.com/HakaiInstitute/hakair/issues. If you would like to modify any part of this package you are encouraged to submit a pull request. If neither of those previous statements make much sense to you then I'll point you to the Hakai Institute Guide for Reproducible Analyses which outlines many of the collaborative data science workflows this R package is premised on.

Installation

In the R-Studio console run the following two lines of code:

install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("HakaiInstitute/hakaiR")

This package might one day be really cool.

Use at your own risk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Installing HakaiR package

I ran into several errors while trying to install the HakaiR package:

1. I was in an existing R project, and got the following error:
   Error: Failed to install 'hakaiR' from GitHub:
   (converted from warning) cannot remove prior installation of package ‘backports’

2. I closed RStudio and re-opened it without loading with project/package, re-tried the installation with
   devtools::install_github("hakaiinstitute/hakaiR")

and got the following error:
Error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'pkgload', details:
call: loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]])
error: there is no package called ‘backports’

3. I then had to re-install 'backports' from "install.packages()

4. Tried again to install HakaiR and got the following error:
   package ‘glue’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
   Error: Failed to install 'hakaiR' from GitHub:
   (converted from warning) cannot remove prior installation of package ‘glue

5. I then had to re-install 'glue' from "install.packages()

6. Tried again to install HakaiR and got the following error:
   Error: Failed to install 'hakaiR' from GitHub:
   (converted from warning) cannot remove prior installation of package ‘fs’

7. I then had to re-install 'fs' from "install.packages()

8. Next time I tried to install HakaiR, it worked!
