sdc: Swiss Data Cube

Installation

You can install sdc from github with:

# Install remotes if not available
if (!"remotes" %in% installed.packages()[, "Package"]) install.packages("remotes")

# Install sdc package from Github
remotes::install_github("RS-eco/sdc", build_vignettes = T)

If package installation with install_github() fails, try this as an alternative:

tmp_zip <- tempfile(fileext = ".zip")
source_url <- "https://api.github.com/repos/RS-eco/bavDC/zipball/main"
utils::download.file(source_url, destfile = tmp_zip, method = "wget")
file.exists(tmp_zip)

remotes::install_local(tmp_zip)

After installation, simply load the sdc package:

library(sdc)

If you encounter a bug or if you have any problems, please file an issue on Github.
