About

Maintained by Brett MooreFirst published 2015-12-2413 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

This project provides a group of new functions to calculate the outputs of the two main components of the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) Van Wagner and Pickett (1985) https://ostrnrcan-dostrncan.canada.ca/entities/publication/29706108-2891-4e5d-a59a-a77c96bc507c) at various time scales: the Fire Weather Index (FWI) System Wan Wagner (1985) https://ostrnrcan-dostrncan.canada.ca/entities/publication/d96e56aa-e836-4394-ba29-3afe91c3aa6c and the Fire Behaviour Prediction (FBP) System Forestry Canada Fire Danger Group (1992) https://cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/pubwarehouse/pdfs/10068.pdf. Some functions have two versions, table and raster based.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("cffdrs", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("cffdrs/cffdrs_r")

Development version from cffdrs/cffdrs_r. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-cffdrs

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-cffdrs

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-cffdrs

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
