Overview

About

Maintained by Matthew KlingFirst published 2026-04-091 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides an R-native interface to the 'Circuitscape.jl' and 'Omniscape.jl' 'Julia' packages for landscape connectivity modeling using circuit theory. Users work entirely in R with familiar objects (SpatRaster, file paths) while 'Julia' handles computation invisibly. Supports all four 'Circuitscape' modes (pairwise, one-to-all, all-to-one, advanced) and 'Omniscape' moving-window analysis. Methods are described in McRae (2006) doi:10.1111/j.0014-3820.2006.tb00500.x and Landau et al. (2021) doi:10.21105/joss.02829.

Install

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

install.packages("circuitscaper", 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("matthewkling/circuitscaper")

Development version from matthewkling/circuitscaper. 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-circuitscaper

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-circuitscaper

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-circuitscaper

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