在Rstudio中使用Rcpp安装R包的终端命令？

Question

I'm recently moving from Rstudio to vim when working with R code. I'm having trouble understanding how to replicate the commands sent when I click Install and Restart in Rstudio.

As far as I understand, I need to run

Rscript -e "Rcpp::compileAttributes()"
Rscript -e "devtools::document()"

to replicate Rstudio's Document button. Then

Rscript -e "Rcpp::compileAttributes()"
R CMD INSTALL --no-multiarch --with-keep.source .

should replicate the Install and Restart button.

The problem is: Using Rstudio's buttons installs the package just fine, while running the commands wont. When trying to document() I get the following error:

Updating mypkg documentation
Writing NAMESPACE
Loading mypkg
Error in representation(N = "numeric", N_dep = "numeric", vertices = "list",  : could not find function "representation"
Calls: <Anonymous> ... source_many -> source_one -> eval -> eval -> setClass -> is
Execution halted

And if I ignore it and just install the package, the only object available in the package is my_kpg::'.__t__[[:base' . How can I construct a sequence of command line inputs that behave identically to Rstudio's Document and Install and Restart buttons?

It turns out Rscript doesn't load the methods package by default while the interactive R session does (weird). The problem was caused by the missing package.

Adding library(methods) to my .Rprofile file solved the issue.
