datr

datr allows R users to interact with the Dat network. You can load, store, or share data on the Dat network, without including any intermediaries that can snoop on your content. All transfers are end-to-end encrypted.

THIS PACKAGE IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED. Dat has been replaced by the Hypercore protocol.

Example

or in plain text

datr::dat_install(os = 'linux')

datr::clone_dat('dat://0286381d95864386a83aadb136a60c1d09d079c5a4ff0e403fa126644ba4c6ab',
 dir = '~/test-datr/')

dir.create('~/test-datr-sharing')
setwd('~/test-datr-sharing')

datr::create_dat()

write.csv(data.frame(x = rnorm(100, 0, 1), y = rnorm(100, 50, 23)),
 '~/test-datr-sharing/test-data.csv',
 row.names = FALSE)

datr::sync_dat()

Installation

You can install datr from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("libscie/datr")

See below for Windows, Mac, and Linux specific instructions for installing Dat. v0.1.0 will be submitted to CRAN (almost done 🏁)!

Windows

Fire up R with Administrator privileges by right clicking the icon and selecting "Run as administrator"

Once the program launches, run datr::dat_install(). The package then initiates downloading Dat and installs it on your local machine.

Upon completion, reboot R and you can start using the package 😻 (adminstrator privileges no longer needed)

Mac

devtools::install_github('libscie/datr', ref = 'install')
datr::dat_install(os = 'macos')

Note that there currently is an issue out that could benefit from feedback on installation on Mac (#7).

Linux

Run datr::dat_install(os = 'linux') from your R console. There's no need to specify which flavor of Linux you're running, but you might to need to restart your R session 🙋
