Dear all, I have a package called pliman <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=pliman> which depends on the Bioconductor package EBImage.
When running install.packages("pliman") I get the following warning Warning in install.packages : dependency ‘EBImage’ is not available and thus when loading the package with library(pliman), the following error occurs Erro: package or namespace load failed for ‘pliman’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]): there is no package called ‘EBImage’ I created a check function to check if EBImage is available and if not, ask users if they want to install it --- check_ebi <- function(){ if(!requireNamespace("EBImage", quietly = TRUE)) { inst <- switch(menu(c("Yes", "No"), title = "Package {EBImage} required but not available.\nDo you want to install it now?"), "yes", "no") if(inst == "yes"){ if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)){ install.packages("BiocManager") } BiocManager::install("EBImage", ask = FALSE, update = FALSE) } else{ message("To use {pliman}, first install {EBImage} with 'BiocManager::install(\"EBImage\")'.") } } } --- Is there any way to run this function prior to namespace loading? I tried putting check_ebi() into .onLoad() but the same error occurs. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
