I'm not able to confirm this, but since BiocManager::install() uses remotes::install_github() when it sees a pattern "foo/bar", I think BiocManager::install("foo/bar", dependencies = TRUE) will behave as desired.

For local installs, I think we end up at utils::install.packages(), where the docs say

dependencies: logical indicating whether to also install uninstalled
          packages which these packages depend on/link
          to/import/suggest (and so on recursively).  Not used if
          'repos = NULL'.

where I think the repos has to be NULL for the local installation... I don't want BiocManager::install() to deviate from base R behavior in this case.

Hi Levi,

Why not use devtools which already does this?  Setting `dependencies =
TRUE` installs the packages listed in Imports and Suggests, and
BiocManager::repositories() like BiocInstaller::biocinstallRepos() returns
a list of repositories.  See inline below:

It would be useful to be able to use BiocManager to install
the Depends/Imports/Suggests of a source package not on Bioconductor, e.g.:

BiocManager::install("Bioconductor/BiocWorkshops")  #works but only if all
Depends/Imports are already installed


devtools::install("Bioconductor/BiocWorkshops", repos =
BiocManager::repositories(), dependencies = TRUE)



Also from a local package, e.g.:

BiocManager::install("mypackage_0.1.tar.gz")  # or,
BiocManager::install("mypackage")


devtools::install("mypackage_0.1.tar.gz", repos =
BiocManager::repositories(), dependencies = TRUE)
devtools::install("mypackage", repos = BiocManager::repositories(),
dependencies = TRUE)
devtools::install(".", repos = BiocManager::repositories(), dependencies =
TRUE)
