Description

Have you considered adding CI testing, e.g. Travis CI (Linux, macOS, Windows(?)) and AppVeyor CI (Windows)? Seeing (badges in the README) that the package builds, installs and passes `R CMD check` and on which operating systems would be very useful for potential "users".

Research direction

Start by reviewing the rcurses R package and its current build setup, then determine how Travis CI or AppVeyor could run package installation and R CMD check on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Done means CI reports those checks and the README displays badges showing the build status and supported operating systems.
