You don't need to read long manual pages for a simple task. This manual page collects the most common pak use cases.
Package installation
Install a package from CRAN or Bioconductor
pak::pkg_install("tibble")
pak automatically sets a CRAN repository and the Bioconductor repositories that correspons to the current R version.
Install a package from GitHub
pak::pkg_install("tidyverse/tibble")#> #> → Will update 2 packages. #> → All 2 packages (0 B) are cached. #> + tibble 3.1.8 → 3.1.8.9002 👷🏻🔧 (GitHub: 37ec86a) #> + vctrs 0.5.1 → 0.5.1.9000 👷🏾♀️🔧 (GitHub: 2d7de76) #> ℹ No downloads are needed, 2 pkgs are cached #> ℹ Packaging vctrs 0.5.1.9000 #> ✔ Packaged vctrs 0.5.1.9000 (1.4s) #> ℹ Building vctrs 0.5.1.9000 #> ✔ Built vctrs 0.5.1.9000 (11.2s) #> ✔ Installed vctrs 0.5.1.9000 (github::r-lib/vctrs@2d7de76) (34ms) #> ℹ Packaging tibble 3.1.8.9002 #> ✔ Packaged tibble 3.1.8.9002 (502ms) #> ℹ Building tibble 3.1.8.9002 #> ✔ Built tibble 3.1.8.9002 (2.7s) #> ✔ Installed tibble 3.1.8.9002 (github::tidyverse/tibble@37ec86a) (28ms) #> ✔ 1 pkg + 10 deps: kept 9, upd 2 [17.5s]
Use the user/repo form.
You can specify a branch or tag: user/repo@branch or user/repo@tag.
Install a package from a URL
pak::pkg_install(
"url::https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/tibble/tibble_3.1.7.tar.gz"
)#> #> → Will install 1 package. #> → Will update 1 package. #> → All 2 packages (38.65 kB) are cached. #> + ellipsis 0.3.2 #> + tibble 3.1.8.9002 → 3.1.7 👷🏻♀️🔧 #> ℹ No downloads are needed, 2 pkgs (38.65 kB) are cached #> ✔ Installed ellipsis 0.3.2 (18ms) #> ℹ Building tibble 3.1.7 #> ✔ Built tibble 3.1.7 (2.5s) #> ✔ Installed tibble 3.1.7 (31ms) #> ✔ 1 pkg + 11 deps: kept 10, upd 1, added 1 [3.3s]
The URL may point to an R package file, made with R CMD build, or a
.tar.gz or .zip archive of a package tree.
Package updates
Update a package
pak::pkg_install("tibble")#> #> → Will update 1 package. #> → The package (724.32 kB) is cached. #> + tibble 3.1.7 → 3.1.8 #> ℹ No downloads are needed, 1 pkg (724.32 kB) is cached #> ✔ Installed tibble 3.1.8 (36ms) #> ✔ 1 pkg + 10 deps: kept 10, upd 1 [368ms]
pak::pkg_install() automatically updates the package.
Update all dependencies of a package
pak::pkg_install("tibble", upgrade = TRUE)#> #> ℹ No downloads are needed #> ✔ 1 pkg + 10 deps: kept 11 [278ms]
upgrade = TRUE updates the package itself and all of its dependencies, if
necessary.
Reinstall a package
Add ?reinstall to the package name or package reference in general:
pak::pkg_install("tibble?reinstall")#> #> → Will install 1 package. #> → The package (724.32 kB) is cached. #> + tibble 3.1.8 #> ℹ No downloads are needed, 1 pkg (724.32 kB) is cached #> ✔ Installed tibble 3.1.8 (60ms) #> ✔ 1 pkg + 10 deps: kept 10, added 1 [340ms]

If you set the repos option to a CRAN repo only, or unset it completely,
then pak keeps only CRAN and (by default) Bioconductor.

By default pak caches both metadata and downloaded packages.

Update metadata cache
By default pkg_install() and similar functions automatically update the
metadata for the currently set repositories if it is older than 24 hours.
You can also force an update manually:
pak::meta_update()
#> ✔ Updating metadata database ... done
Clean metadata cache
pak::meta_clean(force = TRUE)
