rpix is currently in alpha. We don’t expect to support the entire pixi CLI, but are open to implement useful features - feedback is welcome!
The rpix package provides an interface to manage dependencies with pixi.
rpix depends on having pixi installed - so if you haven’t got it yet, install pixi first.
- Project template. For a fully-fledged, ready-to-use R project, create a project with the r-template
- Add to existing project. To add rpix to an existing pixi
project:
pixi add r-rpix
install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github('roaldarbol/rpix')library(rpix)The primary use of rpix is the ability to add dependencies in the
console like you normally would with install.packages or
renv::install. With rpix, the command is add. Let’s try installing
the tidyverse:
pixi::add("tidyverse")
Fun fact: rpix is a inspired by the Danish word harpiks which means resin. I see it as the resin that binds pixi into the natural R workflow.
