如何卸载一个包不重新启动 r?
I'd like to unload a package without having to restart R (mostly because restarting R as I try out different, conflicting packages is getting frustrating, but conceivably this could be used in a program to use one function and then another--although namespace referencing is probably a better idea for that use).
?library
doesn't show any options that would unload a package.
There is a suggestion that detach
can unload package, but the following both fail:
detach(vegan)
Error in
detach(vegan)
: invalidname
argument
detach("vegan")
Error in
detach("vegan")
: invalidname
argument
So how do I unload a package?

Try this (see ?detach
for more details):
detach("package:vegan", unload=TRUE)
It is possible to have multiple versions of a package loaded at once (for example, if you have a development version and a stable version in different libraries). To detach guarantee that all copies are detached, use this function.
detach_package <- function(pkg, character.only = FALSE)
{
if(!character.only)
{
pkg <- deparse(substitute(pkg))
}
search_item <- paste("package", pkg, sep = ":")
while(search_item %in% search())
{
detach(search_item, unload = TRUE, character.only = TRUE)
}
}
Usage is, for example
detach_package(vegan)
or
detach_package("vegan", TRUE)
I tried what kohske wrote as an answer and I got error again, so I did some search and found this which worked for me (R 3.0.2):
require(splines) # package
detach(package:splines)
or also
library(splines)
pkg <- "package:splines"
detach(pkg, character.only = TRUE)
You can also use the unloadNamespace command, as in:
unloadNamespace("sqldf")
The function detaches the namespace prior to unloading it.
you can uncheck the check box button in RStudio (packages)
Just go to OUTPUT window, then click on Packages icon (it is located between Plot and Help icons). Remove "tick / check mark" from the package you wanted be unload.
For again using the package just put a "tick or Check mark" in front of package or use :
library (lme4)
When you are going back and forth between scripts it may only sometimes be necessary to unload a package. Here's a simple IF statement that will prevent warnings that would appear if you tried to unload a package that was not currently loaded.
if("package:vegan" %in% search()) detach("package:vegan", unload=TRUE)
Including this at the top of a script might be helpful.
I hope that makes your day!
detach(package:PackageName) works and there is no need to use quotes.
