Examples

if (identical(Sys.getenv("AUTO_JULIA_INSTALL"), "true")) { ## julia_setup is quite time consuming
  ## do initialization and automatic installation of Julia if necessary
  julia_setup(installJulia = TRUE)
  julia_install_package_if_needed("Optim")
  opt <- julia_pkg_import("Optim",
                           func_list = c("optimize", "BFGS"))
rosenbrock <- function(x) (1.0 - x[1])^2 + 100.0 * (x[2] - x[1]^2)^2
result <- opt$optimize(rosenbrock, rep(0,2), opt$BFGS())
result
