How To Install R-future on Fedora 36

In this tutorial we learn how to install R-future in Fedora 36. R-future is Unified Parallel and Distributed Processing in R for Everyone

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install R-future on Fedora 36.

What is `R-future`

The purpose of this package is to provide a lightweight and unified Future API for sequential and parallel processing of R expression via futures. The simplest way to evaluate an expression in parallel is to use x %<-% { expression } with plan(multisession). This package implements sequential, multicore, multisession, and cluster futures. With these, R expressions can be evaluated on the local machine, in parallel a set of local machines, or distributed on a mix of local and remote machines. Extensions to this package implement additional backends for processing futures via compute cluster schedulers, etc. Because of its unified API, there is no need to modify any code in order switch from sequential on the local machine to, say, distributed processing on a remote compute cluster. Another strength of this package is that global variables and functions are automatically identified and exported as needed, making it straightforward to tweak existing code to make use of futures.

We can use yum or dnf to install R-future on Fedora 36. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install R-future.

Install R-future on Fedora 36 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

After updating yum database, We can install R-future using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install R-future

Install R-future on Fedora 36 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum makecache --refresh

After updating yum database, We can install R-future using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install R-future

How To Uninstall R-future on Fedora 36

To uninstall only the R-future package we can use the following command:

sudo dnf remove R-future
