RQDA R-CMD-check

RQDA is an R package for computer-aided qualitative data analysis

Installation of Devel Version

Assuming you have a working version of the current release (and all its dependencies).

#install.packages("devtools") ## install it only if you haven't done it yet
devtools::install_github("RQDA/RQDA", INSTALL_opts = "--no-multiarch")

Installation for Linux users from source package

# packages you need to run and build RQDA
pkgs <- c("RSQLite", "gWidgets2RGtk2", "DBI",
          "stringi", "RGtk2", "igraph", "gWidgets2", "devtools")
install.packages(pkgs)

devtools::install_github("RQDA/RQDA")

Installation for Windows users from source package

# packages you need to run and build RQDA
pkgs <- c("RSQLite", "gWidgets2RGtk2", "DBI",
          "stringi", "RGtk2", "igraph", "gWidgets2", "devtools")
install.packages(pkgs)

# run this once and click OK when asked to install Gtk2
library(RGtk2)

# RGtk2 installs only i686 or x86_64 files therefore no-mutliarch is required
devtools::install_github("RQDA/RQDA", INSTALL_opts = "--no-multiarch")

Installation for macOS from source package (untested)

  1. Install Xocde from the App store, launch Xcode and follow the instruction to install all the components. In addition, open a Terminal and run the following command to install the command line tools:

    $ sudo xcode-select --install

  2. Go to https://www.xquartz.org/, download and install XQuartz-2.8.1.dmg.

  3. Go to https://www.macports.org/install.php, download and install macport (Install MacPorts for your version of OS X, e.g Sierra). If you had a working MacPorts and updated the OS, they you need to migrate a MacPorts installation by following these instructions.

  4. Open a Terminal and run the following commands:

    $ sudo port install pkgconfig
$ sudo port install gtk2

  5. Download and install the binary version of R.

  6. If the above step is successful, launch terminal to invoke R and install RQDA from within R:

$ R
> devtools::install_github("RQDA/RQDA")
  1. If all steps are successful, then we can launch RQDA by the following R command:
> library(RQDA)

How to change the font sizes of the RQDA interface

  1. There is a font setting interface in the Settings Tab.

  2. This can be achived by modifying ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (create on if not exists), for instance:

style "user-font" {
    font_name = "Lucida Grande 14"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

gtk-font-name="Lucida Grande 14"
gtk-enable-mnemonics = 0
