About

Maintained by Yannick MarconFirst published 2019-02-224 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

'Mica' is a server application used to create data web portals for large-scale epidemiological studies or multiple-study consortia. 'Mica' helps studies to provide scientifically robust data visibility and web presence without significant information technology effort. 'Mica' provides a structured description of consortia, studies, annotated and searchable data dictionaries, and data access request management. This 'Mica' client allows to perform data extraction for reporting purposes.

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash

sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-micar

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
