How to use the Shiny app

Website

This Shiny app is hosted at shinyapps.io where you can access using the link https://zhiyang.shinyapps.io/imutsig/.

Local installation

If you'd like to use this Shiny app locally, please type the following command in your RStudio.

git clone https://github.com/USCbiostats/iMutSig.git

To run the Shiny app, you need to install the following packages. If you run into any issues while installing pmsignature, please refer to its GitHub page for more details https://github.com/friend1ws/pmsignature.

packages <- c("shinyjs", "shinydashboard", "shiny", "dplyr", 
              "DT", "corrplot", "stringr", "devtools")
if (length(setdiff(packages, rownames(installed.packages()))) > 0) {
  install.packages(setdiff(packages, rownames(installed.packages())))  
}

if (!("d3heatmap" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))){
  devtools::install_github("rstudio/d3heatmap")
}

if (!("pmsignature" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))){
  devtools::install_github("friend1ws/pmsignature", ref = "devel")
}

if (!("decompTumor2Sig" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))){
  devtools::install_github("zhiiiyang/decompTumor2Sig")
}

By clicking the Run App button in either ui.R or server.R script, a Shiny app will run locally. Or you can simply enter runApp() in the console.
