Overview

About

Maintained by Katarzyna MarkowskaFirst published 2026-01-192 releasesCRAN page ↗

Flexible, mechanistic, and spatially explicit simulator of metacommunities. It extends our previous package - 'rangr' (see https://github.com/ropensci/rangr), which implemented a mechanistic virtual species simulator integrating population dynamics and dispersal. The 'mrangr' package adds the ability to simulate multiple species interacting through an asymmetric matrix of pairwise relationships, allowing users to model all types of biotic interactions — competitive, facilitative, or neutral — within spatially explicit virtual environments. This work was supported by the National Science Centre, Poland, grant no. 2018/29/B/NZ8/00066 and the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Centre (grant no. pl0090-01).

Install

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

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

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

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-mrangr

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-mrangr

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-mrangr

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