Specifically the issue with GDAL
not being able to find
proj.db
.
According to this issue on
GitHub the issue is caused by renv
installing the
version of {sf}
from the posit package
manager where the gdal
subdirectory is not included in
the {sf}
package from this repo - but it is included in the
version of {sf}
from https://CRAN.R-project.org. To
work around this you should set the CRAN repo before installing the
package.
You can do as follows:
options(repos = c(CRAN = "https://cran.rstudio.com/"))
renv::remove("sf")
renv::purge("sf")
renv::install("sf")
renv::install("aleksanderbl29/dawaR")
renv::snapshot()
renv::clean() # for good measure
renv::rebuild()
Now all should be hunky-dory! Have fun with the package.
