duckdb R package
Installation from CRAN
install.packages("duckdb")
Building
The default build compiles a release version from an amalgamation.
cd tools/rpkg
R CMD INSTALL .
Optional extensions can be enabled by passing them (comma-separated, if there is more than one) to the environment variable DUCKDB_R_EXTENSIONS
:
DUCKDB_R_EXTENSIONS=tpch R CMD INSTALL .
Development
To build the R package, you first need to install the dependencies, these are located in tools/rpkg/dependencies.R
Navigate over to the tools/rpkg
folder and run Rscript dependencies.R
For development, setting the DUCKDB_R_DEBUG
environment variable enables incremental debugging builds for the R package.
cd tools/rpkg
DUCKDB_R_DEBUG=1 R CMD INSTALL .
This also works for devtools:
Sys.setenv(DUCKDB_R_DEBUG = "1")
pkgload::load_all()
Add the following to your .Renviron
to make this the default:
DUCKDB_R_DEBUG=1
If you do this, remember to use --vanilla
for building release builds.
