guix.install-package: guix.install: Install R Packages Reproducibly with Guix

Description

guix.install

Details

guix.install

This package lets you install any R package through Guix from within a running R session. If a desired R package is not yet available in any of your Guix channels, this package will leverage the recursive package importing facilities that Guix provides and transparently import packages from CRAN, Bioconductor, or any Mercurial or Git repository before installing them with Guix.

This replaces the need for installers like devtools and exposes reproducible package management features through a familiar interface within R.
