Hi,

I was looking for an equivalent of Python’s virtual environments and there is something similar in R: the packrat R package (from Rstudio). It allows to fix the dependency versions and switch from one R environment to another. That would allow end-users to have several client side package versions. Combined with R server profiles, the upgrade would be easier for the client side (isolated R environments) and would improve the reproducibility of the analysis.

Has anyone tried packrat?

Regards
Yannick
