This example presents a shell script that installs a curated collection of R packages for a new R version, organized by workflow category. It covers data manipulation with `dplyr`, `tidyr`, `lubridate`, and `purrr`; reading data via `readr` and `rvest`; plotting with `ggplot2`, `ggmap`, and `viridis`; database connections through `RODBC`, `RJDBC`, and `RMySQL`; and modeling with `mgcv`, `lme4`, and `caret`. The script also includes commented-out spatial packages (`sp`, `maptools`) and instructions for ROracle installation, showing a practical setup routine.

Install useful R packages data science

This example shows a script for installing a curated set of R packages essential for data science workflows. It covers data manipulation with `dplyr`, `tidyr`, and `data.table`; data presentation via `rmarkdown` and `knitr`; database connectivity through `RODBC`, `RMySQL`, `RPostgreSQL`, and `RSQLite`; and file I/O for formats like Excel (`xlsx`), SAS (`foreign`), JSON (`jsonlite`), and XML (`XML`). The code also includes packages for plotting (`ggplot2`), package development (`devtools`, `roxygen2`), and testing (`testthat`). Each package name is accompanied by a comment explaining its purpose, making the installation list self-documenting.

R on Ubuntu 14.04 EC2 for Data Science

This example presents a step-by-step shell and R script for configuring a data-science environment on an Ubuntu 14.04 EC2 instance, focusing on installing R, RStudio Server, and the xgboost package. It shows the setup commands for security group settings, user permissions, and system updates, along with package installations via `apt-get`, `gdebi`, and R’s `install.packages` from the drat repository. The code also includes dependencies like `libcurl4-openssl-dev`, `libxml2-dev`, and tools such as `mono-complete` and `ffmpeg`. The description highlights the practical workflow rather than a visualization, emphasizing the underlying infrastructure for data analysis.

Setup Gist for new Rshiny server VMs.

This example shows a setup script for provisioning a new R Shiny server virtual machine, listing the essential R packages and GitHub-hosted tools required for a typical bioinformatics workflow. It demonstrates how to automate dependency installation using base R functions like `install.packages()` and `install_github()` from the `devtools` package, alongside `install_bitbucket()` for MAGeCKFlute. The code explicitly names libraries such as `tidyverse`, `plotly`, `shinydashboard`, and `manhattanly`, and includes custom forks like `manhattanlyCRISPR`. The rendering approach is a plain-text R script, not a visualization, but the list clarifies the environment’s package landscape for reproducibility.

How to use R like Python

This example demonstrates how to write modular, maintainable R scripts using the `box` package instead of `source()` or `library()`. It shows a main script with pure functions and a CLI entry point, loaded alongside a utility file and an unconventionally named module. The code uses `box::use` for dependency management, `argparse` for command-line parsing, `arrow` for Parquet I/O, and `testthat` for inline validation. The workflow emphasizes avoiding `setwd()` and keeping scripts testable and reusable across projects.

Rprofile.R

This R configuration script customizes a user’s R environment for data analysis, primarily by setting package options, a CRAN mirror, and database connections via RODBC. It defines utility functions like `tdf` for transposing data frames, `propmiss` for summarizing missing values, and `qq` for generating QQ plots of p-values. The code uses base R functions such as `lapply`, `sapply`, `hist`, and `plot`, along with `utils::head` and `base::summary` shortcuts. The script demonstrates practical workflows for data wrangling, statistical visualization, and system-specific setup, emphasizing reproducible coding habits.

Install essentials on RHEL machines.

This visualization demonstrates the step-by-step installation of essential software packages on RHEL machines, using a shell script workflow. It shows each command in sequence, including `sudo yum update`, `yum install` for zip, subversion, git, python2.7-dev, and gcc, alongside direct `wget` and `rpm -i` operations for p7zip. The script also runs `sudo easy_install pip`. The rendering relies on a simple code-file viewer that highlights the command lines, with no external data source, presenting the raw Bash instructions as the primary visual element.

Gist 05f4cffac50217bd0c33a538cb013563

This example visualizes geographic routing and geocoding workflows in R, showing how spatial data can be processed and mapped. It installs and loads packages for text mining, word clouds, and interactive map viewing, including `ggplot2`, `tm`, `wordcloud`, and `RColorBrewer` for static and corpus-based visualizations. The code also integrates the `photon` and `osrm` packages via `devtools` to access geocoding and routing APIs, enabling point-and-route calculations. The visualization pipeline combines spatial operations with text analytics, demonstrating a multi-step data enrichment and mapping process.

Get list of installed R packages

This example shows a plain-text list of installed R packages, displaying the package name and version, with the priority column filtered out. The code retrieves the data using `installed.packages()`, selecting the first, third, and fourth columns, then removes rows where the priority is not missing. It prints the resulting two-column data frame without row names using `print(ip, row.names=FALSE)`. The rendering is purely textual, relying on R’s base printing, with no external graphics or visualization libraries involved.
