The run package facilitates the deployment of R application bundled as R packages. It will automatically install the package and its dependencies, and run the package's main() function if it exists.

You can install the released version of run from CRAN with:

install.packages("run")

Suppose your application has been packaged as myapp_0.1.0.tar.gz. To run your application, run the following from the shell:

foo@bar:~$ Rscript -e "run::run('myapp_0.1.0.tar.gz')"
