Basic analytics system

This repository contains a set of scripts that configure a basic R analytics system based on Ubuntu.

The scripts will install the necessary dependencies for R and RStudio, and configure the system to provide

• Analytics using the tidyverse
• Document publishing using LaTeX / markdown and a variety of R packages
• Geospatial analytics (rgeos, rgdal, and geostatistics packages such as sf, sp, rgeos etc.)
• Access to databases through DBI (including MS SQL Server through odbc)
• Reproducibility for computational environments (i.e. VirtualBox, Docker, rocker/verse)

Usage

Run ./configure-ubuntu.sh to run all necessary scripts in order.
