R environment (renv)

Using renv while writing your tutorial will ensure that when a LingMethodsHub maintainer renders your tutorial, all of the necessary packages will be installed. Even if you’ve already been working on the tutorial, you can start using renv like so:

renv::init()
renv::snapshot()

This will create an renv/ directory, and an renv.lock file. You should add renv.lock to git.

Once you’ve run through all of the code for your tutorial again, just run renv::snapshot() one more time before you push your final commit.

Sample R Markdown Template

renv::use(lockfile = "renv.lock")
