Domino allows you to install internally developed custom R and Python packages stored in GitHub or GitHub Enterprise. For best performance, do this by creating a custom environment. However, if you do not want to create a custom environment or you are running a quick test or prototype, you can install these packages in a Domino project.
Start by configuring git integration in your Domino projects.
-
If it doesn’t already exist, create a file named
requirements.txtin the root directory of your project. -
Add the following line to
requirements.txt:-e /repos/<repo_name>
After requirements.txt is in place, Domino automatically installs the Python package every time you start a workspace or batch run within the project.
If it doesn’t already exist, create a file named install.R in the root directory of your project. Add the following line to install.R:
devtools::install_local('/repos/<repo_name>')For example, if you want to install ggplot2 from a Git repository,
your install.R should look like:
After this `install.R is in place, enter a line at the beginning of your work within the project to install the project for your sessions.
source('install.R')
