rpix is currently in alpha. We don’t expect to support the entire pixi CLI, but are open to implement useful features - feedback is welcome!

Overview

The rpix package provides an interface to manage dependencies with pixi.

Installation

rpix depends on having pixi installed - so if you haven’t got it yet, install pixi first.

• Project template. For a fully-fledged, ready-to-use R project, create a project with the r-template
• Add to existing project. To add rpix to an existing pixi project: pixi add r-rpix

install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github('roaldarbol/rpix')

How to use rpix

library(rpix)

The primary use of rpix is the ability to add dependencies in the console like you normally would with install.packages or renv::install. With rpix, the command is add. Let’s try installing the tidyverse:

pixi::add("tidyverse")

Fun fact: rpix is a inspired by the Danish word harpiks which means resin. I see it as the resin that binds pixi into the natural R workflow.
