install_pkgs: Install (Missing) Packages

Description

extract_pkgs() extracts required package from various objects, including TaskGenerator, Learner, Measure and objects from extension packages such as mlr3pipelines or mlr3filters. If applied on a list, the function is called recursively on all elements.

install_pkgs() calls extract_pkgs() internally and proceeds with the installation of extracted packages.

Arguments

x

(any) Object with package information (or a list of such objects).

...

(any) Additional arguments passed down to remotes::install_cran() or remotes::install_github(). Arguments force and upgrade are often important in this context.

Value

extract_pkgs() returns a character() of package strings, install_pkgs() returns the names of extracted packages invisibly.

Details

If a package contains a forward slash ('/'), it is assumed to be a package hosted on GitHub in "<user>/<repo>" format, and the string will be passed to remotes::install_github(). Otherwise, the package name will be passed to remotes::install_cran().
