Configuring R to work behind a firewall
Within a company network you need to set the proxy server. The following command does this by setting an R environment variable to the proxy:port;
Sys.putenv("HTTP_PROXY"="[URL]:[PORT]")
|
Once this is set you can check if the variable is set with;
Sys.getenv("HTTP_PROXY")
|
Now you can fetch the following scripts over the internet;
source("http://www.bioconductor.org/getBioC.R")
source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
|
Typing the following commands will display the source code of the functions for installing BioConductor automatically. 'getBioC' installs a fairly comprehensive installation, 'biocLite' installs a minimal installation.
getBioC biocLite |
Type the following command to install Bioconductor getBioC() or biocLite() depending on type of installation.
