Building the Package Manually

All of these commands should be executed in the project root directory. We use the common R commands here, alternative modes are offered by add-ons such as the RStudio IDE, or the devtools and related packages.

To build the package tar.gz file:

R CMD build .

which creates the standard tar.gz file under the version number given in the DESCRIPTION file.

To check the package from the tar.gz file:

R CMD check tiledb_*tar.gz       # possibly specify the version here

To install directly from the source directory and with a version of TileDB installed on a non-standard path:

R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--with-tiledb=/path/to/tiledb/' .

Other argument can be set as usual, for example keeping source attributes (which is helpful for debugging)

R CMD INSTALL --with-keep.source  .

and combined as needed. See R CMD INSTALL --help or R CMD check --help as usual.
