A docker image for easily using RQDA. RQDA is an awesome Gtk+ qualitative data analysis tools for R (a "computer-aided qualitative data analysis", CAQDA).
Docker, container, image ?? A container image is a lightweight, stand-alone, executable package of a piece of software that includes everything needed to run it: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries, settings. (Official doc)
More on docker on Pokyah's blog.
This project find its roots in the fact that RQDA dependencies are not easily available/installed in modern distribution of Linux and R.
This image proposes the last stable version of RQDA (0.2-8) running in Debian 8 (jessie) and R (3.1)
