Bootstrapping the sawmill Installation

About

The bootstrap installation method is the quickest and easiest way of getting started with sawmill, and is best-suited for novice R users, or experienced R users who want to quickly process timber with default settings.

Bootstrapping generally refers to a program that can 'start itself'. Here, it means using code from sawmill to download and start sawmill.

Bootstrap

Get Code

You can download bootstrap.R by clicking on bootstrap.R in the list of files above, right-clicking on the Raw button, and selecting "Save link as.." or "Save target as.." in the context menu. Then, open the file in R or RStudio, and run the code.

Or, you can copy the contents of bootstrap.R into R or RStudio by clicking on bootstrap.R in the list of files above, and copying the contents.

Run Code

Then, run the code: it is important to do this by clicking Source in RStudio.

The code will install the requirements to download sawmill, then download it, along with its requirements. Then, it'll install it, and start the default processing pipeline.

It should be a 'one-click' install and run.

Restart Processing Pipeline

If you need to restart the pipeline, run sawmill::start_mill() -- the last line of code in bootstrap.R.
