# First repository with exercises in dPrep.md This is a basic example repository using Gnu make for a reproducible research workflow, as described in detail here: [tilburgsciencehub.com](http://tilburgsciencehub.com/). The main aim of this to have a basic structure, which can be easily adjusted to use in an actual project. In this example project, the following is done: 1. Download and prepare data 2. Run some analysis 3. Present results in a final pdf generated using LaTeX ## Dependencies - R - R packages: `install.packages("stargazer")` - [Gnu Make](https://tilburgsciencehub.com/get/make) - [TeX distribution](https://tilburgsciencehub.com/get/latex/?utm_campaign=referral-short) - For the `makefile` to work, R, Gnu make and the TeX distribution (specifically `pdflatex`) need to be made available in the system path - Detailed installation instructions can be found here: [tilburgsciencehub.com](http://tilburgsciencehub.com/) ## Notes - `make clean` removes all unncessary temporary files. - Tested under Linux Mint (should work in any linux distro, as well as on Windows and Mac) - IMPORTANT: In `makefile`, when using `\` to split code into multiple lines, no space should follow `\`. Otherwise Gnu make aborts with error 193. - Many possible improvements remain. Comments and contributions are welcome!
