Installing dependencies

There are a number of dependencies required to build this book. We have a full installation recipe for Ubuntu 12.04 here. Even if you run a different operating system, please look there for R package requirements. All of the R packages are available on CRAN via install.packages except for bookdown and captioner. You can install both sets of packages with:

pkgs <- c("lubridate", "rvest", "magrittr", "gridExtra", "dplyr", "plyr",
          "tidyr", "xtable", "nlme", "effects", "broom", "hexbin", "maps",
          "maps", "Hmisc", "devtools")
reqs <- vapply(pkgs, require, character.only = TRUE, FUN.VALUE = logical(1))
# Install packages we require
if(any(!reqs)) install.packages(pkgs[!reqs])

devtools::install_github(c("adletaw/captioner", "hadley/bookdown"))

You might also need to install the inconsolata font.
