local_install.R fails on Docker version

[harryhoch]

I'm trying to run these tools as per Getting Started in a US Location instructions, using Docker.

Base machine is a Mac running Venture (13).

Docker starts fine, but local_install.R fails as follows

(virtualenv) app@0f38c70d01e0:~/covidsp$ Rscript COVIDScenarioPipeline/local_install.R Error in library(devtools) : there is no package called ‘devtools’ Execution halted

I attempted to go into R directly to install devtools manually. Starting R leads to a whole mess of output of the form

continuing on for many more packages...

Hi Harry.

I'm sorry, we are in the process of updating the documentation and changing the name of the project, and the github wiki is outdated. We will clarify the situation in the next weeks. In the meantime:

The new documentation is on https://iddynamics.gitbook.io/flepimop/. The error you got is most likely beccause the version of the docker image you have is "lastest" whereas it should be "latest-dev".

Please try with docker pull hopkinsidd/covidscenariopipeline:latest-dev, and do not hesitate to report any other issues.

Thanks. I'll try that.
