Install flexlambda- and master-lme4 from Github

Dear Ben,
dear Tobias,

the devtools solution is actually pretty nice:

library(devtools)
dev_mode(, path = "~/your/path/to/new/library/here")

will switch your R repl from

to

d>

you can then simply install

install_github("lme4", "lme4", ref = "flexLambda")

which will install into the directory specificied in your dev_mode() call.
Next time you enter R and want to load the flexLambda version of lme4 you
need to pass

dev_mode(, path = ~/your/path/to/new/library/here")

again. If you now use

library(lme4)

it will load the flexLambda package from the specified library path.

Thank you!
Christian

Hello,

is it possible to install the flexlambda and master branch of lme4 at the
same time:

library(devtools)
install_github("lme4", "lme4")
install_github("lme4", "flexlambda")

such that I can load them as different packages.
(Obviously not both at the
same time but for example in two different sessions; using "lme4" in one
and "flexlambda" in the other)?

  devtools::dev_mode() might be useful (I haven't used it),
or install the packages to different libraries and specify
`lib.loc` when loading ... or clone the package to your system
and hack the DESCRIPTION file to create two different packages
with different names ...

Dear Christian,

I think the package manager packrat (implemented also in the project functionality of the RStudio beta that came out this monday) would enable you to do what you need.

Best, Tobias
