R: Install the development version of a package

install_dev {remotes} | R Documentation

## Install the development version of a package

### Description

`install_dev()` retrieves the package DESCRIPTION from the CRAN mirror and looks in the 'URL' and 'BugReports' fields for GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket URLs. It then calls the appropriate `install_()` function to install the development package.

### Usage

    install_dev(package, cran_url = getOption("repos")[["CRAN"]], ...)

### Arguments

`package` | The package name to install.
`cran_url` | The URL of the CRAN mirror to use, by default based on the 'repos' option. If unset uses 'https://cloud.r-project.org'.
`...` | Additional arguments passed to `install_github()`, `install_gitlab()`, or `install_bitbucket()` functions.
