Arguments

path

path to subject archive, can be a path to directory, a zip file, or an internet address (must starts with 'http', or 'ftp')

ask

when overwrite is false, whether to ask the user if subject exists; default is true when running in interactive session; users will be prompt with choices; if ask=FALSE and overwrite=FALSE, then the process will end with a warning if the subject exists.

overwrite

whether to overwrite existing subject, see argument ask and backup

backup

whether to back-up the subject when overwriting the data; default is true, which will rename the old subject folders instead of removing; set to true to remove existing subject.

use_cache

whether to use cached extraction directory; default is true. Set it to FALSE if you want a clean installation.

dry_run

whether to dry-run the process instead of actually installing; this rehearsal can help you see the progress and prevent you from losing data
