How to Download the Docker Image

docker pull l9otus/data550_final_image

Link to the image on DockerHub:
https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/l9otus/data550_final_image/general

How to Build the Docker Image

docker build -t l9otus/data550_final_image .

How to Run the Docker Image

make report/iris_report.html

ALL STEPS NEEDED TO GENERATE THE REPORT

Run the following in terminal:

Step 1:

git clone https://github.com/L9otus/DATA550_final_project_iris
cd DATA550_final_project_iris

Step 2 (select one of the following):

• For Windows users:

docker pull l9otus/data550_final_image

• For Mac users: (Work on Apple M1 chip)

docker pull --platform linux/amd64 l9otus/data550_final_image

Step 3:

make clean
make report/iris_report.html

Now you should be able to view iris_report.html in the report folder

Tips:

If add/delete/update any package, run following in console to synchronize the renv library and renv.lock:

renv::snapshot()

Contents of the Report

• Description of the iris data set
• Analysis objectives
• Read in Data
• Tabular analysis (table)
• Graphical analysis (boxplots)

The code file that creates the table: code/01_make_table.R
The code file that creates the figures: code/02_make_boxplot.R
