Developer tools

SPS is not only a framework to run interactive workflow and visualize data, but also a framework with a abundant developer tools for building Shiny apps, writing R markdowns, integrating R-HTML and general R utilities.

These developer toolkits are distributed in supporting packages. If you like some of the functionality from SPS and think installing the whole framework is too expensive (time consuming), cherry-pick the functionality you want in following categories:

• spsCpmps: Shiny/Rmarkdown UI components, and Shiny server functions.
• drawer: Shiny/Rmarkdown/HTML interactive image editing tool.
• spsUtil: General R utilities, like pretty logging functions.

Install

All these supporting packages are available on CRAN. We recommend to use the modern package manager {pak} to install packages.

if(!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://r-lib.github.io/p/pak/dev/")

Pick and install packages as your need

pak::pkg_install("spsCpmps")
pak::pkg_install("drawer")
pak::pkg_install("spsUtil")

Linux

If you are on Linux, you need to install some system dependencies before R package installation. To figure out what system dependencies and command, run:

cat(paste("sudo", pak::pkg_system_requirements("spsComps")), sep = "\n")

sudo apt-get install -y make
sudo apt-get install -y libicu-dev

cat(paste("sudo", pak::pkg_system_requirements("drawer")), sep = "\n")

sudo apt-get install -y make
sudo apt-get install -y pandoc
sudo apt-get install -y libicu-dev

cat(paste("sudo", pak::pkg_system_requirements("spsUtil")), sep = "\n")

sudo apt-get install -y libcurl4-openssl-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libicu-dev
