# A Git Extension Making it Easier to Build R from Source
## Installation
The `git-r` script is distributed under GPL (>= 2.1) and the source code is
available at https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/git-r/. To "install" it,
just do:
```sh
$ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HenrikBengtsson/git-r/master/bin/git-r
$ chmod ugo+x git-r
```
If you add it to the `PATH`, then the `git` command will automatically find it and you can call it as:
```sh
$ git r ...
```

### Ubuntu 22.04
_(Last updated: 2022-12-19)_
If you're on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 system, here's what needs to be able to get started with `git-r`:
```sh
sudo apt install -y git curl
```
Then, to be able to configure and build R with its default, you need at a minimum:
```r
sudo apt install -y make
sudo apt install -y gcc gfortran g++
sudo apt install -y zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev liblzma-dev
sudo apt install -y libcurl4-gnutls-dev
sudo apt install -y libreadline-dev ## --with-readline=yes (default)
sudo apt install -y libxt-dev ## --with-x=yes (default)
sudo apt install -y libpcre2-dev ## unless --with-pcre1
```
For R to be able to produce PNG image files and also support internationalization (i18n), you need to install:
```sh
sudo apt install -y libpng-dev
sudo apt install -y libicu-dev
```
