In richfitz/buildr: buildr

We'll adopt the convention that the port will be 87 followed by the R version 2 digit number (so 8730, 8731, etc).

We require a python installation for the web server, currently python 2.

• Install python from the homepage
• Add python to the windows path, e.g., using c:\Python27 - do this at the front of the system path, not the user path. Add c:\Python27\scripts to use pip too because python packaging is fractally awful.
• pip install flask

From the wikipedia port number page this seems like a reasonable group to use.

• Download R from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base
• Install following the defaults (it can be useful to make a desktop shortcut though and that is no longer the default)
• Install packages by opening a new R session and running install.packages(c("R6", "httr", "jsonlite"))

In separate cmd windows run:

cd build
