Get operating system and CPU architecture

Source: R/get_sys_arch.R
get_sys_arch.Rd

Returns the operating system and the CPU architecture that the running R reports with base::Sys.info(), as a single string, "<OS>-<architecture>". install_micromamba() uses it to choose the micromamba build.

Usage

get_sys_arch()

Value

A character string such as "Linux-x86_64", "Linux-aarch64", "Darwin-x86_64" or "Darwin-arm64". On Windows it is "Windows-aarch64" for a native ARM64 build of R. It is "Windows-x86-64" for an x64 build, also when that build runs through x64 emulation on an ARM64 PC.
