Github Repository Instructions:

Here is a link to our public Github repository: https://github.com/kkowal28/cs424_project2

It consists of two branches: master and development. The master branch is the main one and the files we used in creating our visualizations along with the UI of the website are on there. The development branch is for minor changes that each of us individually made and for others to look over. After something is put in the development branch and looked over, it gets passed to the main branch.

General Instructions to run and load our project:

Here we assume that you have the Github link on your web browser and RStudio downloaded along with R. Click the "Clone or Download" button and unzip the file. Then you load the app.R and helper.R files in RStudio.

In the app.R file in RStudio, there are numerous packages that need to be installed. If you don't already have those packages in your RStudio app, type in install.packages("name of package") to get them loaded in. After that, hit the "Run App" button and wait for about 30 seconds and a new window should pop up on your web browser displaying the visualizations (maps, graphs, and overall site for our Project 2).

There are eight files on the main page plus one folder which contains the shiny code which we used for the UI for this project. That folder itself contains six files, bringing our total to 14. While we have the code in helper.R which is used to help sort the data, we mainly did most of our coding in the p2_notebook.ipynd file.
