R Session Information
Query and print information about the current R session. It is similar to
utils::sessionInfo()
, but includes more information about packages, and
where they were installed from.
- Additional platform details: time zone, pandoc version, RStudio version, etc.
- Information about package sources, e.g. GitHub repo and hash for packages installed from GitHub.
- Highlight package installation problems, e.g. if the loaded and on-disk versions are different, if the MD5 checksum of the package DLL is wrong, etc.
- Highlight packages from unusual sources.
- Information about external software via
external_info()
. - Information about the Python configuration if the reticulate package is loaded and configured.
- Information about package libraries.
- Compare two session info outputs with the
session_diff()
function. - Option to show loaded (default), attached or installed packages, or the recursive dependencies of the specified packages.
Install the released version from CRAN
install.packages("sessioninfo")
Or the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("r-lib/sessioninfo")
Example output:
sessioninfo::session_info()
You can use the
clipr
package to copy
the session info to the clipboard:
clipr::write_clip(session_info())
(The current clipr
version prints a warning, but you can ignore that.)
You can use the to_file
argument of session_info()
:
session_info(to_file = "session.log")
sessioninfo::session_info(info = "external")
