R package mstools, version 0.17.0

Purpose and Functionality

Tool functions that can be used by several madrat-dependent or magpie4 output functions.

Installation

For installation of the most recent package version an additional repository has to be added in R:

options(repos = c(CRAN = "@CRAN@", pik = "https://rse.pik-potsdam.de/r/packages"))

The additional repository can be made available permanently by adding the line above to a file called .Rprofile stored in the home folder of your system (Sys.glob("~") in R returns the home directory).

After that the most recent version of the package can be installed using install.packages:

install.packages("mstools")

Package updates can be installed using update.packages (make sure that the additional repository has been added before running that command):

update.packages()
