arrow (version 0.16.0.2)

install_arrow: Install or upgrade the Arrow library

Description

Use this function to install the latest release of arrow, to switch to or from a nightly development version, or on Linux to try reinstalling with all necessary C++ dependencies.

Usage

install_arrow(
  nightly = FALSE,
  binary = Sys.getenv("LIBARROW_BINARY", TRUE),
  use_system = Sys.getenv("ARROW_USE_PKG_CONFIG", FALSE),
  repos = getOption("repos"),
  ...
)

Arguments

nightly

logical: Should we install a development version of the package, or should we install from CRAN (the default).

binary

On Linux, value to set for the environment variable LIBARROW_BINARY, which governs how C++ binaries are used, if at all. The default value, TRUE, tells the installation script to detect the Linux distribution and version and find an appropriate C++ library. FALSE would tell the script not to retrieve a binary and instead build Arrow C++ from source. Other valid values are strings corresponding to a Linux distribution-version, to override the value that would be detected. See vignette("install", package = "arrow") for further details.

use_system

logical: Should we use pkg-config to look for Arrow system packages? Default is FALSE. If TRUE, source installation may be faster, but there is a risk of version mismatch.

repos

character vector of base URLs of the repositories to install from (passed to install.packages())

...

Additional arguments passed to install.packages()
