https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#r-packages contains a method for setting up an R environment with a specific set of libraries, and it creates an R wrapper which points R to those libraries. The package RStudio relies on the standard R package, which then cannot access any of the libraries specified in a custom R environment. While one may easily use pkgs.rstudio.override to change rstudio's R dependency to the custom R environment, this accomplishes nothing because while RStudio runs the correct R wrapper it clears out the environment variable R_LIBS_SITE - and so it is still unable to use any of those packages. In order to work around this problem, these changes allow the user to optionally modify rstudio's wrapper to set environment variable R_PROFILE_USER to an R script which sets R's .libPaths(..) to point to the same libraries; that script is generated from R_LIBS_SITE in the R wrapper. By default, this change has no effect. If R is overridden to something else, and if useRPackages is changed from its default of false, then the change described above is made; for instance: { packageOverrides = pkgs: let self = pkgs.pkgs; in rec { rEnv = pkgs.rWrapper.override { packages = with self.rPackages; [ dplyr ggplot2 e1071 rpart reshape ]; }; rstudioEnv = pkgs.rstudio.override { R = rEnv; useRPackages = true; }; }; }
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
