A number of etn options can be configured as Environmental Variables.

Setting options

To temporarily set an option for the duration of an R session, use:

Sys.setenv(ETN_PROTOCOL = "opencpu")
# Retrieve with Sys.getenv("ETN_PROTOCOL")

To store an option permanently, open the .Renviron file with usethis::edit_r_environ(), edit, and save:

ETN_PROTOCOL = "opencpu"

Available options

  • ETN_USER: Your username to the ETN database. See authentication.

  • ETN_PWD: Your password to the ETN database. See authentication.

  • ETN_PROTOCOL (value: "opencpu" or "localdb"): etn will automatically detect how to best connect to the ETN database, i.e. it will use a local database connection when available. This option allows you to override this behaviour by hardcoding the protocol to use.

  • ETN_TEST_API (value: a url) developers only: etn uses the production version of the OpenCPU API by default. This option allows you to use a test version of the OpenCPU API (available upon request). Any other value will break the package.
