#rJavaEnv
I am flattered that people record video tutorials on how to use my #rstats #rJavaEnv package (thanks @samoora.bsky.social !). There will soon be an update that will ensure long term sustainability of the package even if new Java versions come out and I don't update the package (but I will!)

#rstats since it's release is early-mid September 2024 #rJavaEnv (ekotov.pro/rJavaEnv/) is averaging 500+ downloads per month. It's your trusty companion for #r5r, #RSelenium, #openNLP and 100+ other #Java dependent packages. Install Java in one line of code + use with #targets #ReproducibleResearch

At a Summer Institute of Computational Social Science in Barcelona, I have just battle tested my rJavaEnv #rstats package. Saves the day for RSelenium users too. Try it yourself, one line of code installs and sets Java with not admin rights required.

I found #spanishoddata ( ropenspain.github.io/spanishoddata/ ) on this fancy hex sticker t-shirt by @schochastics.net . #rJavaEnv ( www.ekotov.pro/rJavaEnv/ ) must be on the back. Fun thing you can do this weekend is try to find your #rstats package. Full size source img: github.com/schochastics...

🚀 #rJavaEnv #rstats (helper for 100+ Java-dependent packages ) is about to get its biggest update yet. Just in time for ~10k downloads, Java 25 release, and its CRAN bday!

👉 Dev version: github.com/e-kotov/rJav...

New: (1) full Linux support + (2) env setup so you can build {rJava} from source.

No matter which Java-dependent package you use, you will always find StackOverflow and forum posts with "Cannot find JVM library", "Wrong Java version", etc. Users should just be able to install the package and run their analysis. rJavaEnv is here to help: www.ekotov.pro/rJavaEnv

I just uploaded a new YouTube.

Install Java with just one line of code. Luckily, the rJavaEnv package, developed by Egor Kotov and Hadley Wickham solves can do just this #rstats

This version is not yet on CRAN, I will let the dev version ( github.com/e-kotov/rJav... ) cool down a bit and allow time for testing, hopefully but some of you!

Earlier this week, I had a great time as an #rstats package maintainer and mentor at the @ropensci.org mini-hackathon for first time contributors. Enrique Mondragon Estrada made a pull request to add a new feature to #rJavaEnv for reproducible Java environment setup for Java-dependent R packages.

#rstats It's great to see the impact #rJavaEnv is already making, just few months after it's release. It is already suggested by the very new #photon package for offline privacy preserving geocoding by a GESIS researcher github.com/JsLth/photon #ComputationalSocialScience

#urbantransitions2024 8.30am, people setting up posters. I think mine is in the best spot. A snapshot with my workflow using #rstats #r5r, #targets, my own #rJavaEnv www.ekotov.pro/rJavaEnv/ , and #mlr3 is all I can share right now online, for details you have to be here in person)

Here's a brief overview the landscape of Java-dependent R packages and user issues with them (solution is rJavaEnv): www.ekotov.pro/rJavaEnv/art... #rstats #rJava #Java There are 100+ Java-dependent R packages, from basic ones like xslx, to rather niche like rcdk for chemoinformatics.
