For developers

Initial R package creation

• This was done in Rstudio, but should be similar from linux R command line
• R package is housed in a sub-directory of this git project. If that proves unwise we can change it later.
• Following: https://hilaryparker.com/2014/04/29/writing-an-r-package-from-scratch/)
• Updated to use most recent release version of roxygen2
• cd into the basic git tree for the R sub-directory of the project
• copy the classes.R file into the new openmi.om directory t

install.packages("devtools")
library("devtools")
install.packages("roxygen2")
library("roxygen2")
setwd(".\\openmi-om\\R")
# create the openmi.com package directory tree and minimum files
create("openmi.om")
# copy the classes.R file into the new openmi.om directory (done at bash command line or file manager)

Updating package documentation

• This was done in Rstudio, but should be similar from linux R command line

# go into the R package tree base inside the larger git project
setwd(".\\openmi-om\\R\\openmi.om")
library("devtools")
library("roxygen2")
document()

Create Installable tar.gz File

• From linux command prompt (bash)

cd openmi-om/R/
R CMD build openmi.om
