Download and install the latest macOS RStudio (electron) daily along with the latest Quarto pre-release.
Why?
The electron build of RStudio does not require Rosetta and is coming along nicely.
Also, the RStudio dev team is making tons of progress with each build so I download it frequently.
Quarto and RStudio are joined at the hip and one often has to update a local Quarto install immediately after installing the latest RStudio daily.
- Download the script
- Move it to a place on your
$PATH - Ensure it is executable (i.e.
chmod 755 /path/tp/rstudio-quarto-daily.zsh)
- It will check if any local Quarto and RStudio installs are at the latest already.
- It will also check if the DMG and/or pkg files are already downloaded
- It quits running RStudio instances without asking
- It can clobber stuff in
/tmpif similarly named files already exist - The script still lacks some error checking.
$ rstudio-quarto-daily.zsh
