svSocket

A socket server that allows for another process to connect to R and to interact with it as if it was at the command line directly.

Installation

The latest stable version of svSocket can simply be installed from CRAN:

install.packages("svSocket")

You can also install the latest developement version. Make sure you have the devtools R package installed:

Use install_github() to install the svSocket package from Github (source from master branch will be recompiled on your machine):
