OHW22 R environment changes

[abkfenris]

Please comment with any R packages that are need for OHW22 here. We are looking to get all of these at least a week before the main event starts, so we aren't changing anything for the undergrads!

Please use a checkbox for each package so we can track what has been added, ex:

- [ ] some-awesome-package, link to documentation if the conda package isn't obvious to someone who doesn't use it, or CRAN source

The current R environment is defined in https://github.com/oceanhackweek/jupyter-image/blob/main/r/environment.yml

@btupper those should be deployed.

I was able to install most via Conda, except for the few from CRAN that I left unchecked. When an install from CRAN or Github fails, it doesn't exit correctly to fail the build, so I'd suggest trying the environment to see if everything is working as you expect.

[btupper]

OK! Thank you! @jevanilla and @Cross22 - can you each give it a shakedown?

[ocefpaf]

We start next Monday! It would be awesome if you all can upload your notebooks to our tutorial repo and test them in the hub.

[btupper]

Roger that! We shall be using the RStudio server and Rmarkdown documents for the tutorials.

The first tutorial is being vetted within the lab to catch the most egregious boo-boos. The first kicks off with a short video which is linked in the Rmarkdown tutorial. We are assuming that the presenter can simply play the youtube from that link - happy to be corrected. Hollywood has yet to call me, and I think I know why now... https://youtu.be/2ZWFYWMwq1c

The second tutorial is under construction but should be ready in the next 2 days. It uses the same software as the first tutorial.

We are juggling vacations and a small personnel shuffle this week, but, have no worries, we'll make it. What could possibly go wrong?

P.S. The Rmarkdown files are located in the xytz R package. https://github.com/BigelowLab/xyzt

@abkfenris

Can we also get:

• rerddap https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rerddap/index.html
• rnoaa https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rnoaa/index.html

[abkfenris]

Is there a way to get remotes:install_cran and remotes:install_github to exit non 0?

https://github.com/oceanhackweek/jupyter-image/runs/7813411273?check_suite_focus=true#step:6:2900

It really doesn't want to let me know when something fails and breaks the build.

I'll take another swing with the dependencies it wants.

Ok, within 6 hours 2i2c will get a PR with the updated image, then we need to wait for one of their engineers to merge it.

We start next Monday! It would be awesome if you all can upload your notebooks to our tutorial repo and test them in the hub.

@ocefpaf I sent a PR with my notebooks to oceanhackweek/ohw-tutorials

oceanhackweek/ohw-tutorials#87

[abkfenris]

Those changes should be live on the hub: 2i2c-org/infrastructure#1622

[abkfenris]

It looks great, thanks!! As I mentioned over email, it looks like we don't yet have a couple of the libraries in our R image. But we'll manage. For reference, the libraries seem to be:

• emo
• markdown (though we do have rmarkdown)
• metR
• udunits2
• xaringan

Gracias!

Updated: Note to self (I'll move these notes elsewhere, soon): All these packages except emo are in conda-forge.
