library

By default, rv install packages within the project directory, in the subdirectory rv/library, which is further name spaced by R version, arch, and, for linux OS, the OS codename. Therefore, the default library path is <project directory>/rv/library/<R version>/<arch>/<linux codename>.

However, packages can be installed to any directory using the library configuration. rv will not do any name spacing, so the burden is on the user to ensure the correct set of packages is used across R versions and systems.

To increase reproducibility, rv does not consider a package as installed if this option is set since tracking how packages are installed is not as well controlled.

Example

rproject.toml

library = "/opt/rpkgs/4.5"
[project]
name = "custom library"
r_version = "4.5"
repositories = [
    { alias = "PPM", url = "https://packagemanager.posit.co/cran/latest" },
]
dependencies = [
    "dplyr",
]
