Install or re-install the fastsem native binary.

Source: R/install.R
fastsem_install.Rd

Downloads the pre-built shared library for your platform from the fastsem GitHub Releases page and loads it into the current R session. The binary is cached in tools::R_user_dir("fastsemR", "cache") and re-used on subsequent calls (including package startup via .onLoad).

Usage

fastsem_install(force = FALSE)

Arguments

force

Logical (default FALSE). When TRUE, re-download even if a cached binary already exists. Use after a new fastsem release.

Value

Invisibly, the absolute path to the loaded binary.

Details

Platform detection is automatic:

  • Linux x86-64 → libfastsem_r-linux-x86_64.so

  • macOS x86-64 → libfastsem_r-macos-x86_64.dylib

  • macOS arm64 → libfastsem_r-macos-arm64.dylib

  • Windows x64 → libfastsem_r-windows-x64.dll
