In gmculp/rGBAT16AB: GeoSupport for R

rGBAT16AB

An approach to using NYC DCP's geocoder from within an R package. Geosupport Desktop v16 (release A, B, C, or D) must be installed on your machine prior to building this package. If you are using a 64-bit machine, you must install the 64-bit version of Geosupport Desktop. If you are using a 32-bit machine, you must install the 32-bit version of Geosupport Desktop.

This package is currently in development. At present, the package only works on Windows 32-bit and 64-bit machines. Requires devtools and Rcpp to build from within RStudio.

Installing the package:

    ```R
    #requires devtools
    library(devtools)
    #make sure Rtools is TRUE
    devtools::find_rtools()
    #install package
    devtools::install_github("gmculp/rGBAT16AB")
    #load package
    library(rGBAT16AB)
    ```

If you are behind a web proxy (NYC.gov employees):

    ```R
    #load libraries
    library(RCurl)
    library(httr)
    library(devtools)
library(withr)
library(Rcpp)

#does Rtools work with Rcpp
Rcpp::evalCpp("2+2")

    set_config( config( ssl_verifypeer = 0L ) )
    #check web browser options for your proxy
    my_proxy <- "myproxy.nyc"
    set_config(
            use_proxy(url=my_proxy, port=8080, username=Sys.getenv("USERNAME"),password=.rs.askForPassword("Enter password:"))
    )
    options(unzip = 'internal')
    pack_loc <- "gmculp/rGBAT16AB"
    #install package hosted on GitHub
    #check if default library path is local
    #if not, check if R install is local
    #if not, specify local drive
if (devtools::find_rtools()) {
        if (grepl("^[[:alpha:]]{1}:/",.libPaths()[1])){
            devtools::install_github(pack_loc)
        } else if (grepl("^[[:alpha:]]{1}:/",Sys.getenv("R_HOME"))) {
            install_lib <- paste0(Sys.getenv("R_HOME"),"/library")
            withr::with_libpaths(new=install_lib, devtools::install_github(pack_loc), action="replace")
        } else {
            #specify local drive
            install_lib <- 'J:/R_libraries'
            withr::with_libpaths(new=install_lib, devtools::install_github(pack_loc), action="replace")
        }
} else {
    cat("INSTALL RTOOLS!")
}
    #load package
    library(rGBAT16AB)
    ```
