A Stable Future for Your R Packages
When your team can’t access the R packages they need, critical research and data science stops. Posit Package Manager provides secure, centralized package repositories, allowing your work to continue uninterrupted.
Recent changes to Anaconda’s Enterprise platform may mean your research and data science teams who rely on R need a new package management solution. Built by the team behind RStudio, Posit Package Manager is the definitive solution for organizations that need direct control over their use of R packages.
Control and Confidence with Enterprise-Ready Repositories
Security: Block packages with known vulnerabilities. Create curated subsets of approved R packages. Provide offline access for air-gapped environments. Secure select repositories with SSO authentication.
Reproducibility: Freeze repositories to historic snapshots for guaranteed reproducibility of your critical research and data science work.
Speed: Install R packages faster with Posit-built binary CRAN packages.
Accountability: Our long-term commitment to open source is written into our charter as a Public Benefit Corporation.
Expertise: We are the stewards of RStudio, the tidyverse, Shiny, Quarto, and more, for more than 10,000 professional customers and millions of users.
Trust: Your investment in R is safe with Posit. We have always been, and remain, dedicated to the long-term success of open source research and data science ecosystems.
Enterprise platform readiness: Posit offers much more than just package management.
Posit Workbench: Power your research and data science with centralized and secure access to the most popular code editors.
Posit Connect: Deploy your results and data products securely—from reports to Shiny apps to APIs—with the push of a button.
User Friendly
Adoption of Posit Package Manager is easy, because there are no new user tools to learn. R users can use the same familiar package installation tools they’re used to: R’s install.packages(), utilities like renv and pak, or even integrations in their favorite IDE. Research and data science teams stay productive. Team leaders remain confident that analyses will be reproducible across environments and in the future.
Secure Your Open Source Ecosystem
See It All Come Together
Life saving: Unity Health Toronto has launched over 50 artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics tools to make better decisions, increase hospital efficiency and improve patient care.
By establishing a secure and reproducible foundation for package management, Posit Package Manager was instrumental in the successful deployment of Unity Health Toronto's life-saving AI tool, CHARTWatch. The ability to create a governed, reproducible environment ensured this critical clinical application could be deployed and maintained reliably over time. Ultimately, this project contributed to a 26% reduction in unexpected deaths among hospitalized patients, transforming Unity Health's package management from a source of risk into a strategic enabler for clinical innovation.
