Sharing The Environment
Now that you have your lock file, you can send your project over to a friend/colleague and they should:
- Download the project
- Move into the project directory through the cmd line in 2 ways:
1 Open the .RProj file with RStudio
2
setwd('<project-dir>')
e.g. if you made a projects folder in your home directory and a project within your projects folder named my_project:setwd("~/projects/my_project")
renv::init()
renv::restore()
- if this didn’t happen automatically
