install_bitbucket: Install a package directly from bitbucket

Description

This function is vectorised so you can install multiple packages in a single command.

Usage

install_bitbucket(repo, ref = "master", subdir = NULL,
  auth_user = bitbucket_user(), password = bitbucket_password(),
  host = "api.bitbucket.org/2.0", dependencies = NA,
  upgrade = c("default", "ask", "always", "never"), force = FALSE,
  quiet = FALSE, build = TRUE, build_opts = c("--no-resave-data",
  "--no-manual", "--no-build-vignettes"), build_manual = FALSE,
  build_vignettes = FALSE, repos = getOption("repos"),
  type = getOption("pkgType"), ...)

Arguments

repo

Repository address in the format username/repo[/subdir][@ref|#pull]. Alternatively, you can specify subdir and/or ref using the respective parameters (see below); if both is specified, the values in repo take precedence.

ref

Desired git reference; could be a commit, tag, or branch name. Defaults to master.

subdir

subdirectory within repo that contains the R package.

auth_user

your account username if you're attempting to install a package hosted in a private repository (and your username is different to username). Defaults to the BITBUCKET_USER environment variable.

password

your password. Defaults to the BITBUCKET_PASSWORD environment variable. See details for further information on setting up a password.

host

GitHub API host to use. Override with your GitHub enterprise hostname, for example, "github.hostname.com/api/v3".

dependencies

Which dependencies do you want to check? Can be a character vector (selecting from "Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo", "Suggests", or "Enhances"), or a logical vector.

TRUE is shorthand for "Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo" and "Suggests". NA is shorthand for "Depends", "Imports" and "LinkingTo" and is the default. FALSE is shorthand for no dependencies (i.e. just check this package, not its dependencies).

upgrade

One of "default", "ask", "always", or "never". "default" respects the value of the R_REMOTES_UPGRADE environment variable if set, and falls back to "ask" if unset. "ask" prompts the user for which out of date packages to upgrade. For non-interactive sessions "ask" is equivalent to "always". TRUE and FALSE are also accepted and correspond to "always" and "never" respectively.

force

Force installation, even if the remote state has not changed since the previous install.

quiet

If TRUE, suppress output.

build

If TRUE build the package before installing.

build_opts

Options to pass to R CMD build, only used when build

build_manual

If FALSE, don't build PDF manual ('--no-manual').

build_vignettes

If FALSE, don't build package vignettes ('--no-build-vignettes'). is TRUE.

repos

A character vector giving repositories to use.

type

Type of package to update.

...

Other arguments passed on to utils::install.packages().

Details

To install from a private repo, or more generally, access the Bitbucket API with your own credentials, you will need to get an access token. You can create an access token following the instructions found in the Bitbucket App Passwords documentation. The App Password requires read-only access to your repositories and pull requests. Then store your password in the environment variable BITBUCKET_PASSWORD (e.g. evelynwaugh:swordofhonour)

Note that on Windows, authentication requires the "libcurl" download method. You can set the default download method via the download.file.method option:

options(download.file.method = "libcurl")

In particular, if unset, RStudio sets the download method to "wininet". To override this, you might want to set it to "libcurl" in your R profile, see base::Startup. The caveat of the "libcurl" method is that it does not set the system proxies automatically, see "Setting Proxies" in utils::download.file().
