Cross Platform Desktop Notifications
Send desktop notifications from R, on macOS, Windows and Linux.
notifier
has been removed from the CRAN repository by request of the maintainer, but version 1.0.0 can still be installed from the CRAN archives with
install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/notifier/notifier_1.0.0.tar.gz")
To install the latest version from GitHub, however, you may issue the following instead:
remotes::install_github("gaborcsardi/notifier")
notifier
has no R package dependencies, and no system requirements
other than the notify-send
command line tool on Linux and other
Unix-like systems. notify-send
is available in the default installation
on most Desktop Linux installations.
