# ------------------------------
# Install rstanarm and friends
# ------------------------------
# Docker Hub (and Docker in general) chokes on memory issues when compiling
# with gcc, so copy custom CXX settings to /root/.R/Makevars and use ccache and
# clang++ instead

# prophet needs rstan pkg, and we need to set Makevars compiler flag to compile properly
# Make ~/.R
RUN mkdir -p $HOME/.R

#Make Custom User profile for where we want all our pkgs installed

# $HOME is enviroment variable which we can manipulate with ENV command
RUN mkdir $HOME/Rlibs
ENV R_LIBS $HOME/Rlibs

# $HOME doesn't exist in the COPY shell, so be explicit
COPY R/Makevars /root/.R/Makevars

# Install ggplot extensions like ggstance and ggrepel
# rm rf for removing all temp files after install
# adding devtools for starting and ending of package installation
# we need to use single quotes for packages:
