Workflow for Windows

[vjodoin1]

Needed to make a workflow for my windows machine.

https://niehs.github.io/amadeus/articles/protected_datasets.html mentioned no current workflow but could be developed soon.

I did not see an open ticket for it. But the following seemed to allow files to download.

WD is C:\Users\User\Documents\R\NIEHS\amadeus and had it visible from WSL /mnt/c/Users/User/Documents/R/NIEHS/amadeus.

From here the CRAN source build of sf failed on me. Leading to the following domino effect:

ERROR: dependency 'sf' is not available for package 'hydroloom'
ERROR: dependency 'sf' is not available for package 'dataRetrieval'
ERROR: dependencies 'hydroloom', 'dataRetrieval', 'sf', 'maptiles', 'mapsf'
       are not available for package 'nhdplusTools'
ERROR: dependencies 'sf', 'sftime', 'exactextractr', 'testthat', 'stars',
       'nhdplusTools', 'archive' are not available for package 'amadeus'

I ended up falling back on the Ubuntu precompiled r-cran-* packages and ended up finding out that libarchive-dev was needed for archive.

Current set up where the bug appeared most recent:

• amadeus: 1.3.2.1
• R: 4.3.3
• OS: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (WSL2 on Windows 11)
• sf: 1.0.15

Happy to share more of my notes from this if needed.

same as the other: in 2.0.0.xxxx we are moving nhdplusTools to the suggests as opposed to imports so it won't install with the package. It is unfortuntately too problematic of a package, or at least many of its dependencies. Use the dev version and it should resolve that. If not, update with the error after that update.
