Update R package requirements in "Local Development Configuration" wiki
After performing a local build, I noticed that the following R packages were required, but not specified on the "Local Development Configuration" wiki:
Furthermore, the benchmark package listed in the dependencies seems to be archived on CRAN.
Lastly, I think it might be nice to give wiki readers an install.packages() line they can copy to their R environment, similar to what's provided with the sudo apt-get install ... lines. Consider including something like
install.packages( c("Rcpp", "RcppEigen", ...) )
devtools::install_github( "RcppCore/RcppNT2" )
devtools::install_github( "dcdillon/RcppHoney" )
Yes. There is potentially a lot more on a per-post basis, depending on whether you want to recreate the posts. (I have been noodling with a pdf variant ...)
The benchmark is a typo. I meant rbenchmark.
I guess we could clean this up but I am not sure how high a priority it is. Thoughts, @jjallaire ?
Not something I have time for right now but definitely worthwhile!

Maybe the simplest fix would be to ... update the wiki page?
@ArtemSokolov as you have fresh eyes for the topic would you want to take a stab at it?
Honestly, other than the R package dependencies, I think the wiki page is in a pretty good shape! I'm happy to make the changes I proposed, but I don't think GitHub has an easy way to submit a pull request for wiki pages.
Let me know how you would like to proceed.
Yes, the wiki pages are often left behind. I think one ... just edits as on any other wiki but storage is in git so one could roll-up if the need arose.
I think there's a permission control somewhere. Currently, there is no edit option visible to me in the Wiki tab.
Hm. Do you see the Clone this wiki locally on the right side when you are on a post?
Yes. However, as discussed in this blog post, "while you can clone the wiki and make a change to your copy, you cannot submit a pull request as your copy is not “linked” with the original repository."
So, we just need to figure out an effective way to get any changes I make to appear in this primary fork.
Maybe make the changes and email me a diff? I don't have time to dig now if there is mode somewhere between wiki 'locked and open to owners' and 'open to rest of world'.
