I do have my own package, which I want to install via devtools including all its dependencies and their dependencies to. Since this turns out to be quite a list of packages, I'm looking for an way to install them in a multi-core mode like utils::install.packages(Ncpus = 48, c("pak_1", "pak_n")) lets you do.
So I tried devtools::install(pkg = getwd(), Ncpus = 2) which should work, since the docu shows ... which leads you to install_deps, which in turns leads you to utils::install.packages.
But in practice I get a:
We detected these problematic arguments:
* `Ncpus`
Did you misspecify an argument?
Warning.
Do you have an idea how one can install packages via devtools in a multi-core fashion?
devtools::install* functions take threads = N not Ncpu. threads will default to Ncpu if you have defined it in .Rprofile.
