I have a package, which I am thinking to submit to CRAN. It can output
graphics/plots to the kitty terminal (https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/).
However, I am not sure if and how I should indicate the dependency on
kitty. The package builds and installs fine without kitty. However, you
can't really use it without it (it will generate errors when you try).
Two possible fields in the DESCRIPTION could be:
SystemRequirements: kitty
And since, kitty only runs on macos and linux:
OS_type: unix
Should I add these? Like above?
Thanks!
Jan
