Overview

About

Maintained by Soner KocFirst published 2019-11-285 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

The Common Workflow Language https://www.commonwl.org/ is an open standard for describing data analysis workflows. This package takes the raw Common Workflow Language workflows encoded in JSON or 'YAML' and turns the workflow elements into tidy data frames or lists. A graph representation for the workflow can be constructed and visualized with the parsed workflow inputs, outputs, and steps. Users can embed the visualizations in their 'Shiny' applications, and export them as HTML files or static images.

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 apt install -y r-cran-tidycwl

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-tidycwl

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 \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-tidycwl

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
