systemr

The goal of systemr is to run system command outside rstudio. Sometimes Rstudio-Terminal does not behave exactly as normal terminals. For those case, systemr can be used from a normal terminal to create a local api, that will run system command.

Installation

You can install the latest development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("benjaminguinaudeau/systemr")

Example

Open a terminal and run. This will serve the api on the given port.

serve_cli(host = "localhost", port = 5000)

From your rstudio session, you can now run system_api, whic will execute the code in the terminal and transfer the output to rstudio.

system_api("pwd")
