portable-r

This utility helps package applications written in R so they can be distributed to users who may not have R installed. Please visit the releases page to download this tool.

The installation script will:

  1. Download R 3.3.0 for Windows
  2. Extract R from the installer using innoextract
  3. Configure R to use a portable library path
  4. Create a portable application template in the source directory

A sample application is included with this script that illustrates a possible use-case for this tool.

Notes

The installation file is created with NSIS, which is an open-source scriptable install system. To create an installer for your R application, clone this repository, overwrite the application.R file in the resources/source directory, update the configuration file with application-specific settings, and then rebuild the .exe with MakeNSISW. Let me know if you run into any issues!
