This repo demos a JupyterLite R environment for potential use in an OU module.
Notebooks used in the module may require access to packages which are not available via the webR CRAN-style repository.
A repo for custom packages is built into the the JupyterLite site on the path ./repo. This means that for the JupyterLite environment running at https://ouseful-demos.github.io/jupyterlite-m348-demo/lab/index.html, we can install a package in the "local" repo as install.packages("M348", repos = "https://ouseful-demos.github.io/jupyterlite-m348-demo/repo/").
A tidier way od setting the options is:
options("webr_pkg_repos" = "https://ouseful-demos.github.io/jupyterlite-m348-demo/repo/")
and then just: library(M348)
Note that each notebook runs its own webR environment, which means that each notebook needs to install its required packages.
The webR library() function appears to pre-emptively try to install a missing package from the webR repo. Setting options(webr_pkg_repos= "https://ouseful-demos.github.io/jupyterlite-m348-demo/repo/") should force install.packages() and the library() function to pull from this custom repo directly.
