Installing R

If you are not already familiar with R, the latest version can be downloaded for installation from the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN).

Add-Ons

The ShinyApps package is based in the RStudio IDE. After downloading and installing RStudio, open it and paste the following code into the command line:

install.packages("dplyr")

install.packages("tidyr") install.packages("shiny") install.packages("shinydashboard") install.packages("DT") install.packages("d3heatmap") install.packages("ggvis") install.packages("ggplot2") install.packages("rCharts") install.packages("dtplyr") install.packages("data.table") install.packages("plotly") install.packages("RColorBrewer")

Hit enter. Aside from instilling a certain amount of satisfaction, doing this will automatically install all of the packages and dependencies that ExpressionDB will need to work properly.

Download

Download the ExpressionDB package.

Congratulations, you now have everything you need to start building your own ExpressionDB application!

See our Tutorial page to learn how to use this code to build your very own RNA-seq expression database.
