Overview

About

Maintained by Mohammed AliFirst published 2023-08-246 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A framework for building enterprise, scalable and UI-standardized 'shiny' applications. It brings enhanced features such as 'bootstrap' v4 https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/getting-started/introduction/, additional and enhanced 'shiny' modules, customizable UI features, as well as an enhanced application file organization paradigm. This update allows developers to harness the ability to build powerful applications and enriches the 'shiny' developers' experience when building and maintaining applications.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash

  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-periscope2

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
