 If
updates are indicated, the user will be alerted and given instructions
on how to update the relevant packages. To prevent API limits at GitHub
(and to facilitate scripted workflows such as those at High Performance
Computing facilities), <code>NPSdataverse</code> only checks for updates
from an interactive R session and will skip checks when the system is
not on-line or GitHub.com is not responding.</p>
