This is particularly so for researchers who are not well-versed in managing R's tool sets and software extensions.\n\nUpon the release of R 4.0, {RQDA} was archived due to various changes in the dependency ecosystem. The package remains useful to many but installing it through the regular pathway i.e. `install.packages` will not be available until the issues that led to its archiving are resolved.\n\nThis package was inspired by an [initial script](https://gist.github.com/BroVic/7771e1e86df35f6410a3f586ea1ef6c6) that was written to provide installation help to RQDA users who still depend on it for their work.\n\n## Installation\nFor obvious reasons, this package cannot be published on CRAN. It can be installed from [GitHub](https://github.com/BroVic/RQDAassist) with:\n\n```{r install-main}\n# install.packages(\"remotes\")\nremotes::install_github(\"BroVic/RQDAassist\")\n```\n\n## Usage\n### Installing RQDA\nTo install {RQDA}, simply run this line of code:\n\n```{r install-rqda}\nRQDAassist::install()\n```\n\n#### Binary install\n\nFor the default installation, two of the {RQDA} dependencies, {igraph} and {RGtk2}, will be installed as binaries; the former is obtained from CRAN while the latter comes from [Togaware](https://rattle.togaware.com/), creators of the {Rattle} package. The rest will be built from their respective source packages.\n\n#### Source install\nA source installation could be the choice if the user cannot (or does not want to) install the binary from Togaware. Note that for {RGtk2}, this will take quite a while; when the installation gets to this point,\n\n    * byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading\n\nit may appear as if the process is frozen. Kindly wait and **do not interrupt the program at this point**.\n\n#### R and Rtools requirement\nSince the introduction of [UCRT](https://blog.r-project.org/2021/12/07/upcoming-changes-in-r-4.2-on-windows/)-based R builds (starting from R 4.2) the RQDA dependencies cannot be built with the current R and Rtools42 (on Windows). Only R versions 4.0 to 4.1 are compatible; when these are not found on the system, `RQDAassist::install` will attempt to download R 4.1.3 from CRAN as well as Rtools40. This, however, will only work properly in interactive R sessions because of the need for the user to confirm installation permissions via the Windows SmartScreen technology.\n\n### Additional functionality\nAlthough this package is useful for installing {RQDA}, there are other functions that exist to make life easier when working with {RQDA} projects. For more details, kindly consult the documentation via `help(package = \"RQDAassist\")` for an overview of the available functions.\n\n## Troubleshooting\nFor the RQDA installation, several steps are involved and it's not unusual for it to fail for a number of reasons e.g. when there is poor internet access. To better identify failure points, the user can apply additional verbosity to the installation\n\n```{r verbose}\nRQDAassist::install(verbose = TRUE)\n```\n\nA lot of effort has been put into providing informative output when things do go wrong.\n\n## Contributions/Feedback\nIf you run into problems, kindly post an issue and expect a quick response. Feature requests and contributions are also welcome.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FBroVic%2FRQDAassist","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FBroVic%2FRQDAassist","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FBroVic%2FRQDAassist/lists"}
