Multi platform support

[KMilhan]

Thanks for the awesome project!

Do you have any plan to support another platform such as Linux?

[deepskydetail]

Yes, at some point! I'm currently trying to get it working for mac (not much success), also looking at Linux.

Thanks for doing this. I would love to see a LINUX version also :-)

Hello,

I have created a shell script file to eliminate the necessity of using RStudio.

This script was tested on Xubuntu 22.04 with a fresh R installation. Although the process of installing dependencies took a considerable amount of time, it successfully completed in the end.

The script is named "run.sh" and is located in the same "shiny" folder.

When executed, it opens a new tab in the default browser, displaying the running app.

Here is the script:

#!/bin/bash

# INSTALL DEPENDENCIES #

# List of packages
packages=("shiny" "shinycssloaders" "neuralnet" "dplyr" "ggthemes" "tiff" "htmltools" "reshape2" "waveslim" "imager" "bslib" "parallel" "foreach" "doParallel" "doSNOW" "remotes")

# Loop over the packages and install if not already installed
for package in "${packages[@]}"
do
    R --no-echo -e "if (!require('${package}', character.only = TRUE)) install.packages('${package}', repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')"
done

# Install 'neuralnet' package from GitHub
R --no-echo -e "remotes::install_github('bips-hb/neuralnet')"

# RUN #

# Get the directory of the current script
dir="${0%/*}"

# Run the R script
R -e "shiny::runApp('$dir/app.R',launch.browser=TRUE)" --no-save

I hope this works on other operating systems like Mac or other Unix-based systems.

Greetings and many thanks again for such a good app.

PS: I may consider proposing a visual and UX rework soon, depending on the time my job allows me.

Awesome! Thank you so much for this :)

Thanks for doing this, I'm a bit of a noob, my main interest is astronomy. My system, Tuxedo OS2, doesn't have R, RStudio or shiny - I'm not even completely sure what they are but I think they are a bit like apt? Any suggestions?

Hi, the modified script to work with the last version of the code 5.0.7 in Linux (add the shinyWidgets package)

#!/bin/bash

# INSTALL DEPENDENCIES #

# List of packages
packages=("shiny" "shinycssloaders" "neuralnet" "dplyr" "ggthemes" "tiff" "htmltools" "reshape2" "waveslim" "imager" "bslib" "parallel" "foreach" "doParallel" "doSNOW" "remotes" "shinyWidgets")

# Loop over the packages and install if not already installed
for package in "${packages[@]}"
do
    R --no-echo -e "if (!require('${package}', character.only = TRUE)) install.packages('${package}', repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')"
done

# Install 'neuralnet' package from GitHub
R --no-echo -e "remotes::install_github('bips-hb/neuralnet')"

# RUN #

# Get the directory of the current script
dir="${0%/*}"

# Run the R script
R -e "shiny::runApp('$dir/app.R',launch.browser=TRUE)" --no-save

I've tested the script on Ubuntu 23.10 and it works fine, except for the last line which was trying to run /bin/app.R, however once the installation was done it was simple enough to figure out how to modify the last line to run the app.

Hi Great project. Thanks.

Problems getting it to run on Ubuntu 22.04.3. Running the script went OK except it was missing imager. I installed imager. At the R prompt:

install.packages("imager")

Then:

R -e "shiny::runApp('/home/steve/AstroSharp/resources/app/app.R',launch.browser=TRUE)" --no-save

No idea if this is the intended method though.

Thanks again, Steve

I've put a how-to-build-on-Ubuntu here: https://linuxcb.blogspot.com/2024/03/deep-sky-detail-on-linux.html But please bear in mind, I'm not an expert in anything tech. So at your own risk and stuff... Cheers

[deepskydetail]

Thanks for doing the blog post! And sorry for not getting back sooner!

With the first error, you could open up R and run the following code "install.packages("imager"). But it looks like you figured that out already ;)

The hybrid model has been broken for a while now. I need to put out a fix. I just haven't had much time lately. Let me know if I missed anything.

Thanks! Mark
