Homebrew
New thread :-)-O I am wondering if I should not try to figure out how automate this. Is there a way of (only) listing all user installed (additional) packages, ie not the ones that come with R? I could then construct the below file automagically, and if I was really bothered and bored find out how to make Homebrew pre/post install scripts to automate this :-)-O And, for the record, other than that, I can only recall one serious issue, when the openblas library got lost recently which was however fixed quite quickly. greetings, el

I do same, including Rstudio (Cask).
Once in a while after major updates I need to reinstall all my extra
packages, so I have written me a little script along the lines of
#!/usr/local/bin/Rscript
local({
r <- getOption("repos")
r["CRAN"] <- "https://cloud.r-project.org/"
options(repos = r)
})
install.packages(c(
"RMariaDB", "rstudioapi"
))
made it 0755 and can run it from the command line. Put it in my
handbook so I don't forget and never looked back.

I am using Homebrew on a Mac (two Macs - one at home, one at work) instead of the official R package, and I did not have any problems after upgrades - maybe I am lucky, maybe not as picky in defining ?problem?, but my suggestion would be to try R from homebrew to install R. OK - no support from here - I know. And homebrew has also binary versions. What is missing, is a hombrew R package repository. Maybe an idea to create one? Cheers, Rainer
