Install blockr ​

blockr is free and open source, released under GPL-3.0.

You need R 4.1 or later. Most users access blockr through a hosted server (e.g. blockr.cloud) and don't need to install anything locally.

blockr recommended ​

blockr is on CRAN, but it's under heavy active development. Install from GitHub to get current bug fixes and features:

r
# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("BristolMyersSquibb/blockr")

blockr is a meta-package. It pulls in the core engine and the main block libraries: blockr.core, blockr.dock, blockr.dag, blockr.dplyr, blockr.ggplot, blockr.io.

Launch a board:

r
blockr::run_app()

If you'd rather use the released version:

r
install.packages("blockr")

Optional extras ​

These packages aren't bundled into the meta-package. Install whichever you need.

Session management: blockr.session ​

Save, restore, and share board state across users.

r
pak::pak("BristolMyersSquibb/blockr.session")

Dashboard blocks: blockr.bi ​

Drilldown, crossfilter, tiles, and KPI cards. New, but you'll want these for complex dashboards.

r
pak::pak("cynkra/blockr.bi")

More ​

Other packages (AI assistant, code export, stats, vertical demos) live in the package overview. The list there is the source of truth and may shift as packages stabilise or get folded into the meta-package.
