Install ‘ctags’ from a clone of the ‘git’ repository

Description

‘ctags’ is installed with this package on both Windows and macOS systems; this is an additional function to install from source on Unix systems.

Usage

ctags_install(bin_dir = NULL, sudo = TRUE)

Arguments

• bin_dir: This parameter only has an effect on *nix-type operating systems (such as Linux), on which it’s a prefix to pass to the autoconf configure command defining location to install the binary, with default of /usr/local.

• sudo: Set to FALSE if sudo is not available, in which case a value for bin_dir will also have to be explicitly specified, and be a location where a binary is able to be installed without sudo privileges.
