[BlindRUG] Good tip: Playing an auditory error sound in R

[JooYoung Seo]

Hello,

I hope that everyone is doing well.

I am sharing a good tip to play a unique sound whenever an error occurs in R.

That could help us quickly pick up an error using an auditory sound,
improving accessibility for users with and without visual impairments.

Do the following in R session:

``` r
# Make sure to install required packages:
if(!require(usethis)) {
    install.packages("usethis")
}

if(!require(beepr)) {
    install.packages("beepr")
}

# Open your Rprofile:
usethis::edit_r_profile()

# When .Rprofile is open copy and paste the following line at the end,
and then save.
options(error = beepr::beep)

# Restart yR session, and test whether you hear jingle sound per error:
stop("foo")
```

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

JooYoung
