  • Preparation of R for enrichment analysis tool – 03.12.2021

    Two options are available to perform the exercises of the enrichment analysis course.

    1. Local installation of R and RStudio:

    Install R:

    https://cran.r-project.org/

     

    Install RStudio (free version is fine)

    https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/

     

    Once R and RStudio are installed, open RStudio only (no need to open R, RStudio connects automatically to your installation of R).

     

    Install the necessary packages using the following commands:

    install.packages("BiocManager")
    BiocManager::install("clusterProfiler")
    BiocManager::install("org.Hs.eg.db")
    BiocManager::install("pathview")
    BiocManager::install("enrichplot")
    install.packages("ggplot2")
    install.packages("ggrepel")

     

     

    2. Another option is to create an R session on the RStudio cloud:

    https://rstudio.cloud/

    Create a free account.  Then, go to “Workspace” and create a new project by clicking on “New project”. Once the new project has been deployed, install the necessary packages using the following commands:

    install.packages("BiocManager")
    BiocManager::install("clusterProfiler")
    BiocManager::install("org.Hs.eg.db")
    BiocManager::install("pathview")
    BiocManager::install("enrichplot")
    install.packages("ggplot2")
    install.packages("ggrepel")
