About

Maintained by Shiro KuriwakiFirst published 2017-06-1512 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides access to Dataverse APIs https://dataverse.org/ (versions 4-5), enabling data search, retrieval, and deposit. For Dataverse versions <= 3.0, use the archived 'dvn' package https://cran.r-project.org/package=dvn.

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/ \
