 Downloads pre-compiled Windows 'wheel' files (.whl) for Python geospatial 
  packages from <https://github.com/cgohlke/geospatial-wheels>. These are unofficial 
  binary installers for some Python geospatial libraries on Windows prepared by 
  Christoph Gohlke. Wheels for various packages, Python versions, and architectures
  are made available via GitHub releases, providing the ability to revert to
  prior versions when needed.

## Installation

You can install the development version of {rgeowheels} like so:

``` r
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("brownag/rgeowheels")
```

## Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

```{r example}
library(rgeowheels)

# installing wheels only intended for Windows OS
if (Sys.info()["sysname"] == "Windows")
  install_wheel("GDAL")

# latest version of GDAL, latest cpython, available for win_amd64 architecture
install_wheel("GDAL", url_only = TRUE)

# most recent version of rasterio for cpython 3.8 is in v2023.1.10.1 release
install_wheel("rasterio", pyversion = "3.8", url_only = TRUE)
```
