A Building the book from source
The complete source of the book is available online. To build the book:
- Install the latest version of R
- If you are using RStudio, make sure that’s up-to-date as well
Install the book dependencies.
# Make sure you are using the latest version of `devtools` # Older versions do not work. devtools::install_github("csgillespie/efficientR")- Clone the efficientR repository
- See the chapter 9 on Efficient collaboration for an introduction to git and github.
- If you are using
RStudio, openindex.Rmdand clickKnit.- Alternatively (for mainly Linux users) you can use the bundled
Makefile
- Alternatively (for mainly Linux users) you can use the bundled
A.1 Package dependencies
The book uses datasets stored in the efficient GitHub package, which can be installed (after devtools has been installed) as follows:
# Installs package dependencies shown below
devtools::install_github("csgillespie/efficient",
args = "--with-keep.source")The book depends on the following CRAN packages:
