Install the R package and try it out

The initial development phase of your unitConverter package has completed, and it's time to install it and put it to use. By installing your package, you ensure that all the functions, data, and templates are ready to use just like any other R package you'd install from CRAN.

The devtools package and a current version of unitConverter have been loaded for you.

Dive into the essentials of R package construction, from understanding the architecture, the critical R and man directories, to the significance of the DESCRIPTION and NAMESPACE files. Get hands-on with the usethis package as you create your own package skeleton and include data. Strengthen your R function writing skills, grasp best practices for package development, and get comfortable saving functions to a file. Finally, install your package locally using devtools.
