Shiny app installation

The following packages are required to be installed before launching the app.
Packages from CRAN:

install.packages("DT")    
install.packages("ggplot2")       
install.packages("shinycssloaders")     

Packages from Bioconductor:
If analyzing 450K array, IlluminaHumanMethylation450kanno.ilmn12.hg19 needs to be installed.

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)) install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("IlluminaHumanMethylation450kanno.ilmn12.hg19")

If analyzing EPIC array, IlluminaHumanMethylationEPICanno.ilm10b4.hg19 needs to be installed.

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)) install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("IlluminaHumanMethylationEPICanno.ilm10b4.hg19")

Launch the app

After installation, the app can be launched with the following code:

library(methylGSA)
methylGSA::runExample()
