Automate setup

[lindsayplatt]

Automate setup process for using/building packages (and Intro to R?)

• checkr ?
• Ideal: send people a script that they can source, then instructors get an email (not necessarily realistic, but a nice goal)

# Check R version (3.3 or higher)
R.version
 
# Check RStudio version (1.0 or higher)
RStudio.Version()
 
# Check necessary packages installed
# devtools, roxygen2, testthat, knitr
# go to Packages tab
pkgs <- installed.packages()[,1]
sapply(c("devtools", "knitr", "testthat", "roxygen2"), 
       function(n,x){any(grepl(n,x))}, x=pkgs)
 
# RTools installed (not Macs)
# go to start button & type to see if it's installed
 
# Git and Git Bash are available
# go to start button & type to see if it's installed
 
# Restart R if you needed to install Git
 
# Setup SSH
  # Is SSH already setup?
  ls -al ~/.ssh
    # If so, is there a password setup? Get rid of it.
    ssh-keygen -p
  # If not, create a new SSH key
  ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
    # Start the SSH key
    eval $(ssh-agent -s)
    # Add key to ssh-agent
    ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
 
# Add SSH to GitHub account
    # Settings >> SSH
    # Copy key to clipboard
    clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
    # "Add SSH key", paste in body
    # Test that it's hooked up to GitHub properly
    ssh -T [email protected]
 
# Test SSH/git
    # Fork a GitHub repo
    # Copy address (SSH)
    # Go to RStudio & Create new proj w/ version CTRL
    # Paste address
    # Git Shell - add upstream
      # Copy Main repo address
        git add remote upstream <address>
        git remote -v
    # Pull from upstream
      git pull upstream master
    # Make a change & commit
      git push origin master
 
# Test that you can build a package
    # In the RStudio proj you started, try pressing “Build and Reload”
    # There could still be missing software if this doesn’t work
