Send desktop notifications from R, on macOS, Windows and Linux.

## Installation

`notifier` has been [removed from the CRAN repository by request of the maintainer](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/notifier/index.html), but version 1.0.0 can still be installed from the CRAN archives with

```r

install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/notifier/notifier_1.0.0.tar.gz")

```

To install the latest version from GitHub, however, you may issue the following instead:

```r

remotes::install_github("gaborcsardi/notifier")

```

`notifier` has no R package dependencies, and no system requirements

other than the `notify-send` command line tool on Linux and other

Unix-like systems. `notify-send` is available in the default installation

on most Desktop Linux installations.

## Usage

```r

library(notifier)

notify(

  title = "15 Packages out of date",

  msg = c("You can run update.packages() to update them.",

  "Outdated packages: Boom colorspace desc memuse networkD3",

  "pbapply revealjs rgl rmdformats timevis and 5 more")

)

```









## Thanks

`notifier` uses various tools on the different platform:

* On macOS, it uses `terminal-notifier`:

  https://github.com/julienXX/terminal-notifier

* On Linux and other Unix-like systems it uses `notify-send` from

  `libnotify`.

* On recent Windows systems it uses `toaster`:

* Older Windows versions it uses `notifu`:
