# IsoplotRgui

Graphical User Interface to the **IsoplotR** R package for radiometric
geochronology.

## Offline installation and use

You must have **R** installed on your system (see
[https://r-project.org](https://www.r-project.org)). Within **R**, there
are two ways to install **IsoplotRgui**:

1. The current stable version is available via **CRAN** (the
Comprehensive R Archive Network). This version can be installed from
the **R** command prompt:

```
install.packages('IsoplotRgui')
```

2. The latest development version is available from
**GitHub**. Installing this package requires the **remotes** package
to be installed as well:

```
install.packages('remotes')
remotes::install_github('pvermees/IsoplotR')
remotes::install_github('pvermees/IsoplotRgui')
```

Once the package has been installed, you can run the browser-based
graphical user interface by typing:

```
IsoplotRgui::IsoplotR()
```

at the command prompt. Alternatively, the program can also be accessed
online via the **IsoplotR** website at
[https://isoplotr.es.ucl.ac.uk](https://isoplotr.es.ucl.ac.uk/),
or from your own server as discussed in the next section.

## Setting up your own online mirror

There are three ways to install **IsoplotR** online:

1. The current stable version is available from [CRAN](build/CRAN.md).

2. The safest and most secure solution is to install **IsoplotR** as a
[docker](build/docker.md) container.

3. The development version is available from [GitHub](build/git.md).
