easyshiny

easyshiny is a R package to quickly create an interactive web application to visualise and explore single-cell data.

Installation

Run the following code to check if the dependency packages are installed, else install them if required:

pkgs = c("bslib", "data.table", "DT", "ggdendro", "ggplot2", "ggplotify", "ggrepel", "glue", "grid", "hdf5r", "magrittr", "Matrix", "patchwork", "RColorBrewer", "readr", "remotes", "reticulate", "Seurat", "shiny", "shinycssloaders", "shinyhelper")

pkg = pkgs[!(pkgs %in% installed.packages()[,"Package"])]
if(length(pkg)){install.packages(pkg)}

# optional if you want to use custom fonts
install.packages("showtext")
 
# If you are using h5ad file as input, run the code below as well
# reticulate::py_install("anndata")

easyshiny can then be installed from GitHub as follows:

remotes::install_github("NBISweden/easyshiny")
