The standard list of R packages that are available in Tinker SANE can be found by going to the Development in the menu bar and click Catalog items. Search for "SANE Tinker" and expand the found catalog item. In the Overwritable parameters section search for the CRAN_PACKAGES parameter where you will find the list of default packages.

To replace this list of R packages in the Tinker SANE environments you (as the data provider) need to follow the following steps:

  1. Go to the SURF Research Cloud portal and log in
  2. Click on the dropdown item Development in the menu bar and click Catalog items
  3. Search for the SANE Tinker application and click on Edit


  4. Continue the Editing wizard until you reach the Parameters step
  5. Go to the "CRAN_PACKAGES" parameter and select Overwrite from the dropdown list
  6. Fill in the desired list of packages, separated with a space, in the "New parameter value" field and press "Continue"
    Make sure that the names of the packages are written correctly.
  7. Finalize the workspace wizard and let the researcher(s) in your CO know that the R packages are available in the new Tinker SANE environments they create.
