==> devtools::document(roclets=c(\'rd\', \'collate\', \'namesp         


        

Answer 1

I had to uncheck "Build & Reload" under "Automatically reoxygenize when running:" in the Build Tools -> Roxygen Configure menu. Installing devtools in the program files/r/3.2.3/lib helped, but it still wanted all the dependencies there as well. Using packrat didn't seem to help either..
