Source code for ScanGEO Shiny App

Requirements:

20 GB disk space

8 GB RAM

R installed (https://www.r-project.org/)

R packages: "shiny" and "GEOmetadb"

Internet connection

ScanGEO installation instructions:

1. Download files from this repository into your local target directory.

2. In your local target directory, create two additional subdirectories named "softfiles" and "results".

3. Unzip the "www" zip file (this will create a www subdirectory with the files for the app documentation and logo).

4. Download the GEOmetadb data base into your local directory by running the following commands in R:

library(GEOmetadb)

getSQLiteFile(destdir = getwd(), destfile = "GEOmetadb.sqlite.gz")

5. When scanning a particular GDS for the first time, the scan will take longer, as the soft file needs to be downloaded once.
