Getting githubio version offline?

[MichaelChirico]

I'd like to install the latest successful data.table build offline (so I don't have access to the install.packages approach)... is there a way to do so?

install.packages works for local repos too, just mirror repo from gh-pages.

git clone --branch gh-pages https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table.git
Rscript -e 'install.packages("data.table", repos=file.path("file:",normalizePath("data.table")))'

but I'm offline so I can't git clone either... but this is in the right direction. should be able to git clone on a different machine then flash drive.

If you have source on disk, you can do everything offline.

R CMD build data.table
R CMD check $(ls -1t data.table_*.tar.gz | head -n 1)
mkdir -p cran/src/contrib
mv $(ls -1t data.table_*.tar.gz | head -n 1) cran/src/contrib/.
Rscript -e 'tools::write_PACKAGES(contrib.url("cran"))'

then install from it

Rscript -e 'install.packages("data.table", repos=file.path("file:",normalizePath("cran")))'

of course you can always install from tar.gz sources, R CMD INSTALL $(ls -1t data.table_*.tar.gz | head -n 1) and install.packages("tar.gz.filename", type=NULL)

Yes, exactly. My question was mainly about how to get the source onto disk, since I didn't know where online I could find the repository.

This should work. Thanks!
