Create package on Windows

Question

Given a set of functions, like creating a package on Windows OS?

For example for the two functions below:

soma = function(x, y){
res = x + y
res
}

multiplica = function(x,y){
res = x*y
res
}

Answer 1

On Rstudio, click on Project > New Project

Then click on New Directory

Then click on R Package

Name the package. It cannot contain spaces nor - in addition to other rules.

Rstudio will open a standard project with the following files:

• DESCRIPTION
• man/
• NAMESPACE
• R/

Enter folder R and create how many files .R you want with your functions.

Click on Build & Reload. Ready the package has been created.

Of course packages can be much more complicated than that. I recommend reading of this link which is a brief introduction. But surely the best reference is the hadley’s book. @Juliotrecenti gave a presentation about creating packages which is also on youtube.
