Electrical Analytics prototype user interface based on the R Shiny framework.

Required R packages:

• "shiny"
• "ggplot2"
• "lubridate"
• "ggthemes"
• "devtools"
• "ggTimeSeries" - Use devtools::install_github('Ather-Energy/ggTimeSeries')
• "DT"
• "RPostgreSQL"
• "ggpmisc"
• "dplyr"
• "shinyWidgets"
• "ggalt" - Use devtools::install_github('hrbrmstr/ggalt')
• "dygraphs"
• "shinyjs"
• "RcppTOML"

How do I get set up?

1. Install R from r-project.org.

2. libcurl and libproj dev packages are required under ubuntu. Install if necessary.

3. After installing R, clone this repo and install the dependencies using:

    R -f install_deps.R
   

4. If that doesn't work, use install.packages([package_name]) to manually install the packages listed above. See the note for ggTimeSeries and ggalt.

5. On linux, libpq-dev is required for RPostgreSQL, so (for ubuntu-like distros) run:

    sudo apt install libpq-dev
   

6. Run the app:

• From the interpreter use shiny::runApp('path/to/repo')
• From the command line use R -e "shiny::runApp('path/to/repo', port=4815, launch.browser=TRUE)"
