You can resolve CRAN packages from Local, Remote, and Virtual CRAN Repositories specified as supporting CRAN packages.

Note

Applicable for Local, Remote, and Virtual repositories.

To install a CRAN package from this repository, use the R command line and run the following command:

install.packages("<PACKAGE_NAME>", 
                 repo="https://company.jfrog.io/artifactory/<REPOSITORY>", 
                 headers=c(Authorization="Bearer <TOKEN>"))

Where:

  • <PACKAGE_NAME>: Name of the CRAN package to install

  • <COMPANY>: Your organization or domain (e.g., productdemo)

  • <REPOSITORY>: Target CRAN repository name (e.g., john-cran-local)

  • <TOKEN>: Bearer token for authentication

Example:

install.packages("ggplot2", 
                 repo="https://company.jfrog.io/artifactory/john-cran-local", 
                 headers=c(Authorization="Bearer myAccessToken123"))
