Built with Shiny and data from the Yelp Dataset Challenge
Inspired by Shiny's SuperZIP demo
Download the Yelp data set from the [challenge's website] to a local directory, e.g Downloads, and run the python parser to generate files needed by the app:
python yelpsi/python/yelpsi/parser.py ~/Downloads/yelp_dataset_challenge_academic_dataset ~/apps/yelpsi/R/data
The script will generate all files needed by the application. These files need to be placed under the yelpsi/R/data directory.
To run the application locally, you need shiny package installed on your system.
From the R console, set your working directory to R folder of the app, and run the command:
setwd("~/apps/yelpsi/R")
shiny::runApp()
