📦 Repository

File Organization

There are three main directories in this repository:

• 📁 exercises/ contains starter code and example solutions for each exercise

  • exercises/01_app.R - The starter code for the first exercise
  • exercises/01_solution_app.R - An example solution for the first exercise

• 📁 examples/ contains demo apps used in the workshop

• 📁 website/ contains the website materials and slides

Local Setup

If you prefer to use your own computer, you can clone the repository and install the necessary packages. I used R 4.4 but any recent version of R (>= 4.1) should work.

You can use the usethis package to quickly clone the repository:

usethis::create_from_github(
  "gadenbuie/rmedicine-2024-bslib",
  # Decide where to put the project here:
  destdir = "~/Desktop/rmedicine-2024-bslib"
)

This will download the repository and open the project in RStudio. Inside the project, use the renv package to install the necessary packages:

renv::restore()

For very speedy installation, I recommend telling renv to use pak to install packages:

Sys.setenv(RENV_CONFIG_PAK_ENABLED = "true")
renv::restore()
