Building upon the phenominal success of RCytoscape and RCy3, Cytoscape is adopting this project to provide a robust R package for the rapidly evolving Cytoscape ecosystem. We are beginning with a major refactor of RCy3 that includes:
- independence from the graphNEL object model
- harmonized function and argument names
- support for Cytoscape commands
- better support for Cytoscape apps
- see NEWS for the complete release notes
- coordinated development with CyREST and the Cytoscape service model
- coordinated development with other scripting libraries, e.g.,
Official bioconductor releases (recommended)
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("RCy3")
Development version from this repo (at your own risk)
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github('cytoscape/RCy3', build_vignettes=TRUE)
#If installation fails due to package 'XXX' not found,
# then run install.packages("XXX") and then try install_github('cytoscape/RCy3') again
library(RCy3)
- If you see this error on a Mac:
make: gfortran-4.8: No such file or directory, then try reinstalling R via homebrew:brew update && brew reinstall r- warning: this may take ~30 minutes
- If you see this error in RStudio:
ERROR: dependency ‘XML’ is not available for package, then try this command:install.packages("XML")and then try installing RCy3 again.
This is a public, open source project. Come on in! You can contribute at multiple levels:
- Report an issue or feature request
- Fork and make pull requests
- Contact current Cytoscape developers and inquire about joining the team
install.packages("devtools")
install.packages("roxygen2")
library(devtools,roxygen2)
devtools::install_github("AlexanderPico/docthis")
library(docthis) #shift+cmd+D
BiocManager::install("BiocStyle")
library(BiocStyle)
BiocManager::install("BiocCheck")
library(BiocCheck)
install.packages("RUnit")
library(RUnit)
devtools::document()
devtools::check()
BiocCheck::BiocCheck('./')
Unit tests are a crucial tool in software development. In order to run them 'offline' (not on the Bioconductor build system), take these steps from within a running R session (requires RUnit):
source(system.file("unitTests", "test_RCy3.R", package="RCy3"))
run.tests()
They take about 4 minutes to run.
While this is the primary development repository for the RCy3 project, we also make regular pushes to official bioconductor repository (devel & release) from which the official releases are generated. This is the correct repo for all coding and bug reporting interests. The tagged releases here correspond to the bioconductor releases via a manual syncing process. The master branch here corresponds to the latest code in development and not yet released.
git commit -m "informative commit message"
git push origin master
git push upstream master
http://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/push-to-github-bioc/
Following each bioconductor release, a RELEASE_#_# branch is created here:
git fetch upstream
git checkout -b RELEASE_3_8 upstream/RELEASE_3_8
git push origin RELEASE_3_8
Only bug fixes and documentation updates can be pushed to the official bioconductor release branch. After committing and pushing fixes to master, then:
git checkout RELEASE_3_8
git cherry-pick master #for lastest commit
# or git cherry-pick 1abc234 #for specific commit
# or git cherry-pick 1abc234^..5def678 #for an inclusive range
# bump release version in DESCRIPTION
git commit -am 'version bump'
git push origin RELEASE_3_8
# double check changes, and then...
git push upstream RELEASE_3_8
git checkout master
# bump dev version in DESCRIPTION
git commit -am 'version bump'
git push origin master
git push upstream master

When adding or updating vignettes, consider the following tips for consistency:
- Copy/paste the header from an existing RCy3 vignette, including the global knitr options
- Number the VignetteIndexEntry names w.r.t. other vignettes (this determines their presentation order)
- Avoid spaces in Rmd filenames; causes CHECK errors
- When ready, run Knit to html_document and review the generated html (requires BiocStyle)
- Note: you don't need to save the html version; it will be generated anew at Bioconductor.
- In the end, you should just have an Rmd version of each vignette in the repo.
The entire commit history has been preserved during this transition, but you can find the repo for RCy3 v1.5.3 and earlier at https://github.com/tmuetze/Bioconductor_RCy3_the_new_RCytoscape and you can find the Bioconductor page for v1.8.0, including archives at https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/3.6/bioc/html/RCy3.html.
