The tesselle packages can be downloaded and installed from CRAN.
A meta-package, called tesselle, lets you download and install the project’s packages with a single R command:
install.packages("tesselle")Using the library() function, you can then attach the core tesselle packages:
These core packages can be used to explore and analyze common data types in archaeology: count data (tabula), compositional data (nexus) and chronological data (kairos).
Thanks to the R-universe project powered by rOpenSci, tesselle has its own CRAN-like repository: tesselle.r-universe.dev. This repository allows to install all versions and non-CRAN packages (e.g. WIP packages and large data packages). If you want to download and install a package from it, simply use install.packages() and specify the repository URL:
## Install a package from the 'tesselle' universe
install.packages("tabula", repos = "https://tesselle.r-universe.dev")## Enable the repository globally
options(repos = c(tesselle = "https://tesselle.r-universe.dev",
CRAN = "https://cloud.r-project.org"))
## Install some packages
install.packages(c("tabula", "kairos"))How to cite
If you use the tesselle packages in your publications, you must report and cite them properly (as with any other research software) to ensure transparency and reproducibility of your results. By doing so, published results are linked to a particular version of the software, ensuring traceability in case an error is discovered later.
Citing packages can encourage further development and improvement of these tools. Package authors and maintainers are more likely to continue their work if they see that it’s being used and valued by the research community. By citing their work, you’re providing a form of recognition, giving package authors and contributors proper credit for their time and efforts.
Use the citation() function for information on how to cite the base R system or any non-base package:
