Welcome to the Vargo repository! I hope you will be loving it!

To run the MGE data scraper simply clone Vargo into your home directory, install DataScraper, and run Vargo/DataScraper/bash/MGE

Something like:

cd ~
git clone git@github.com:syounkin/Vargo.git
cd Vargo
R CMD INSTALL DataScraper
./DataScraper/bash/MGE

You will need to have knitr and XML installed.

Details:

The bash script runs the program "make" which runs R.

./DataScraper/bash/MGE

#!/bin/bash
## Set the location of the Vargo repository
DIR=$HOME # Mine is in my home directory
mkdir -p $DIR/Vargo/log
mkdir -p $DIR/Vargo/DataScraper/data
mkdir -p $DIR/Vargo/DataScraper/html
cd $DIR/Vargo/DataScraper/
make MGE &>> $DIR/Vargo/log/make.log

./DataScraper/bash/Makefile (Called by make. See MGE.)

pdf:
	R --vanilla -e 'library(roxygen2);roxygenize("./")'
	R CMD Rd2pdf --no-preview --force ../DataScraper/

html:
	R --vanilla -e 'library(roxygen2);roxygenize("./")'
	R CMD INSTALL --html --no-inst ../DataScraper/

MGE:
	R --vanilla -e 'library(knitr);opts_knit$$set(root.dir = ".");knit2html("./vignette/MGE.Rmd","./html/MGE.html")' # If cron fails try using the full path to R here

diagnostics:
	R --vanilla -e 'library(knitr);opts_knit$$set(root.dir = ".");knit2html("./vignette/diagnostics.Rmd","./html/diagnostics.html")' # If cron fails try using the full path to R here

The file MGE.Rmd contains the R script. Make sure that DataScraper is installed with R CMD INSTALL Vargo/DataScraper as well as the packages 'knitr', 'parallel' and 'XML'.

We could do without parallel if we wanted to.
