Install¶

revdeprun is built for Ubuntu LTS cloud instances. You will need:

• Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 (or newer LTS).
• git on PATH.
• sudo access (for R + system requirements).
• Internet access (CRAN metadata, R installers, packages).

Install Rust¶

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Restart your shell (so cargo is on PATH).

Install build tools¶

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y build-essential

Install revdeprun¶

From crates.io:

cargo install revdeprun

From GitHub:

cargo install --git https://github.com/nanxstats/revdeprun.git

If you are using a huge machine¶

On very high core-count instances you can hit the file descriptor limit during parallel downloads/installs. Raising it is often enough:

ulimit -n 10240
