Another option is r-universe (thanks to @opencpu) which has repositories for source (of course), and binaries (including Ubuntu LTS) # Install quantmod in R: install.packages('quantmod', repos = c('joshuaulrich.r-universe.dev', 'cloud.r-project.org')) joshuaulrich.r-universe.dev/…

There are issues with getQuote() again github.com/joshuaulrich/quan… It's fixed on GitHub, but won't be on CRAN for a couple weeks due to CRAN's summer break. Install the patched version in the meantime: remotes::install_github("joshuaulrich/quantmod") #quantmod #rstats

🚀 Extending the cran.dev with a JSON api, e.g. api.cran.dev/gert api.cran.dev/dplyr show the 'release' and 'devel' versions of a pkg, with links to corresponding source, docs, and metadata.

🚀 You can now use cran.dev shortlinks, e.g cran.dev/magick docs.cran.dev/magick To fly directly to the r-universe dev page or html manual for any CRAN package! 🤓
