Closed ns-rse closed 2 years ago

Documentation for most setup instructions is available in the course material setup chapter.

[x] Install git
[x] Install R & RStudio
[x] Create GitHub account
[x] Install GitKraken
[x] Sign-in to GitKraken with GitHub account.
[x] Ensure SSH keypair for accessing GitHub is configured in GitKraken.
[x] Clone RSE-Sheffield/collaborative_github_exercise repo. Clone it to somewhere where you won't get it mixed up with the fork you will clone during teaching.
[x] Ensure you have admin access to RSE-Sheffield/collaborative_github_exercise
[x] Open RSE-Sheffield/collaborative_github_exercise project in Rstudio
[x] Run renv::restore() to install dependencies.
[x] Test that you can knit plot_trait_evolution.Rmd succesfully. _If it succeeds, it's fine to revert the resulting plot_trait_evolution.html to it's previous state instead of committing the changes. However, make sure they are cleared in the git tab one way or the other so as not to confuse the demo._

Noting here so I can update later.

When I went to knit plot_trait_evolution.Rmd I was informed the following packages were required but not installed...

rmarkdown (a newer version of this or some other Markdown package was also required).
dplyr
ggplot2
plotly
sessioninfo

Need to check whether they are included in the renv and if not add them so they are installed and included when restoring the environment.

I also found that on a cleaned repository I could not knit plot_trait_evolution.Rmd which I think is because there is only a single params/params_tmpl.R without any values in it.

I'll test knitting after tomorrows course when there will be some data to include.

Currently I don't have admin access to RSE-Sheffield/collaborative_github_exercise would you be able to grant me that please @davidwilby or @bobturneruk ?

davidwilby commented 2 years ago

Done.

ns-rse commented 2 years ago

Tested with some data now and I can knit although in addition to the above packages needing to be installed I also had to update the markdown package.

I've added an issue for updating the renv to the repository, see #312.
