Installing R packages on the HPC (Not Needed Today)
Just like R Studio on a Windows Computer, before you can run your R script you When you come to running your own R scripts on the HPC, you will need to install the packages your script needs. We have done this for you for this training session but to install your own packages you can follow a procedure like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
setwd('')
bioconductor_packages <- c("clusterProfiler", "pathview", "AnnotationHub", "org.Hs.eg.db")
cran_packages <- c("tidyverse", "ggplot2", "plyr", "readxl", "scales")
# Compares installed packages to above packages and returns a vector of missing packages
new_packages <- bioconductor_packages[!(bioconductor_packages %in% installed.packages()[,"Package"])]
new_cran_packages <- cran_packages[!(cran_packages %in% installed.packages()[,"Package"])]
# Install missing bioconductor packages
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install(new_packages)
# Install missing cran packages
if (length(new_cran_packages)) install.packages(new_cran_packages, repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")
# Update all installed packages to the latest version
update.packages(bioconductor_packages, ask = FALSE)
update.packages(cran_packages, ask = FALSE, repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org") |
Save this as install.R
You can then run this on the HPC like before with this submission script:
| Code Block |
|---|
#!/bin/bash -l
#PBS -N R_install
#PBS -l select=1:ncpus=1:mem=4gb
#PBS -l walltime=2:00:00
#PBS -m abe
module load r/4.2.1-foss-2022a
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
mkdir -p r_library
Rscript install.R |
Save this as install.pbs
Run this on the HPC:
| Code Block |
|---|
# Submit the job to the HPC qsub install.pbs # Check the status of the job qjobs |
