Install from R

Previously, the packages were available from CRAN, but this is no longer the case.

Mind you, the below install_github() method will attempt to rebuild the vignette and therefore at this moment require a LaTeX distribution with pdflatex and a few packages installed. See also issue egonw#28 and egonw#29.

If you have the devtools package installed, you can do:

> install.packages("rJava") # if not present already
> install.packages("devtools") # if not present already
> library(devtools)
> install_github("egonw/rrdf", subdir="rrdflibs")
> install_github("egonw/rrdf", subdir="rrdf", build_vignettes = FALSE)

Compile from source

$ cd rrdf/java
$ groovy build.groovy
$ cd ../..
$ R CMD build rrdflibs
$ R CMD check --as-cran rrdflibs_1.4.0.tar.gz
$ R CMD build rrdf
$ tar xvf rrdf_2.0.4.tar.gz rrdf/inst/doc/tutorial.pdf
$ R CMD check --as-cran rrdf_2.0.4.tar.gz
