How must I add installation instruction for a R package using github with my Dockerfile.
The usual command in R environment is:
devtools::install_github("smach/rmiscutils")
But no success so far. Tried to add github repo to installation instructions:
RUN install2.r --error \
-r 'http://cran.rstudio.com' \
-r 'http://github.com/smach/rmiscutils'
But I get an error:
error in download. Status was '404 Not found'
Maybe using vanilla R call but can't figure the command. Any Hint?
Try this:
RUN installGithub.r smach/rmiscutils \
&& rm -rf /tmp/downloaded_packages/
A good practice is to remove all downloaded packages to reduce image size.
Here added command when installing from Bioconductor (in case someone ends here searching for help)
RUN install2.r -r http://bioconductor.org/packages/3.0/bioc --deps TRUE \
phyloseq \
&& rm -rf /tmp/downloaded_packages/
